I have been unable to install Microsoft Office 2000 under wine on
several Fedora Linux machines. The problem seemed to start with the
June 2004 release of wine and has persisted for every version I have
tried up to and including the latest 12/01/2004 version.
I have tried both RPM install and compiling from source with similar
results.
I have one machine running the May 2004 wine that has Fedora release 1
installed
that has MS Word , Excel , and power point running well.
However, when I updated my work machine to Fedora 2 last May Wine failed to
install the MS Office CD. I am now running Fedora 3 and the problem has
continued with each version of Wine up to the latest.
I do not think the problem is necessarily related to the kernel
version since , the
Fedora 1 computer that runs Word has been updated to use the latest
2.6.9 kernel and
a recent version of the KDE desktop.
The 12/1/2004 version of wine was compiled from a tar down load using
gcc 3.4.3-3
The following error messages were displayed when I attempted to install
The MS OFFIce Cd
on a fully updated Fedora 3 computer running the 2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp kernel.
