I was fooling arround with wine installation and now have a big problem, Firstly I had problems with size of my disk so I downloaded a RPM file from wine.dataparty.no glibc2-RPM (requirements): Latest stripped build: wine-cvs-stripped-090401-1.i386.rpm Latest unstripped build: wine-cvs-unstripped-090401-1.i386.rpm these two, then I could not make it running so I downloaded a gzip and make a new fresh one and it comes upto this level : Compiling regapi... gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fPIC -DSTRICT -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o regapi.o regapi.c ld -r regapi.o -o regapi.tmp.o strip --strip-unneeded regapi.tmp.o LD_LIBRARY_PATH="../../unicode:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ../../tools/winebuild/winebuild -fPIC -L../../dlls -sym regapi.tmp.o -o regapi.spec.c -spec ./regapi.spec gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fPIC -DSTRICT -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o regapi.spec.o regapi.spec.c gcc -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic regapi.spec.o regapi.o -o regapi.so -L../../library -lwine -lncurses -lm -lutil -ldl rm -f regapi && ln -s ../../wine regapi Preparing to install default Wine registry entries... Installing default Wine registry entries... wine client error:0x80685e8: version mismatch 48/51. Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly, or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH. Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running? Registry install failed. so u see it is some client/server error and now I cant go further plz help me out ! regards PS : Read too much of RTFM :P
