[Wine]Re: Step-by-step guide for PowerPoint under wine?

[Peter Wahl]

Dear Holly,

thanks for your suggestions! The reason why I
installed wine-20041019 and not the latest release is
that Winetools recommends wine-20041019 as 'highly
preferred'. I couldn't find a ready made rpm of this
version ... by the way, I'm running SuSE 9.1; the only
version of xdialog I could find was for 9.0, but I
read that it would work for 9.1 too.

I did do 'make install' as root from within the
wine-directory. Xdialog is listed in YaST as
installed, but still winetools returns with:

rpm -i winetools-2.1.1-jo.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        wine is needed by winetools-2.1.1-jo
        xdialog is needed by winetools-2.1.1-jo

Thanks for your help,
Peter
