Nice and decent Fedora Wine packages are in Fedora Extras:

Well, decent in the sense that the packages are well-made, or alternatively: you've done a great job ! :-)

If compiling Wine crashes your computer!!! then something is wrong!!! with your computer!!! You should really find out what!!! and fix it!!! Otherwise you are likely to get problems running Wine!!!

The problem was actually with gcc, and it's been fixed for a while now.

Well, the system is a Pentium 4 2.8GHz HyperThreading with 512MB RAM, so that is not the problem! It just always fails....

I just decided to use the yum packages suggested earlier... and yes, it fails, then crashes! anyway, thanks! On 3/23/06, Francois Gouget < fgouget(a)free.fr&gt; wrote:
