Hi
[url=http://pkgs.org/package/wine]wine x86_64 rpm[/url] is available on third-party EPEL and RPMForge repositories.
Add EPEL or RPMForge repo and install wine rpm by yum:
[code]# yum install wine[/code]

Thanks for replying. I already have downloaded this wine-1.3.7-1.el6.rft.i686.rpm
However, when I try to install it, I get dependencies errors.
I also tried wine-1.2.1-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm, with the same result.
error: Failed dependencies:
wine-capi = 1.2.1-1.el6.rf is needed by wine-1.2.1-1.el6.rf.i686
wine-cms = 1.2.1-1.el6.rf is needed by wine-1.2.1-1.el6.rf.i686
wine-core = 1.2.1-1.el6.rf is needed by wine-1.2.1-1.el6.rf.i686

wine-twain = 1.2.1-1.el6.rf is needed by wine-1.2.1-1.el6.rf.i686
I am not really good at Linux, could you please tell me in steps how to do it?

Thanks a million! :D

Welcome to CentOS.
You need to do some reading:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=47

You need to enable the rpmforge repo, and install it ftom there.

I already have installed it: package rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64 is already installed.
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm
package rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64 is already installed
Any ideas?
But when I try: yum install wine
I get the error:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.kiewel-online.ch

You have x86_64 and RPMforge has only ix86 wine packages. If you want x86_64 wine you need to disable RPMforge and install/enable EPEL.

Thanks SO much Phil. I followed your instructions. :D
All I needed to do was:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
yum install wine

I really cannot understand why people are posting useless posts instead of sharing two commands.
I mean my God! Posting a URL for the entire support forum!!!??? I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy! :-(

Anyway, I posted the instructions, for anybody else that will need to know how to do it.

Have a great day! :D

As [b]Gerald[/b] said: you need to do some reading.
Just posting a url is not going to teach you anything.

Your question was answered in the very first reply, by [b]lystor[/b].
Lose the attitude.

---
Give a man a url and he can solve a problem
Teach a man how to find urls and he can solve many problems.

I'm sure you get the idea.

Your sarcasm and dissatisfaction are noted. The instruction I pointed you to tell you all you need to know to accomplish what you did, and other people would be insulted by spoon-feeding of basic commands. We cannot guess the knowledge level of everyone asking a question.

If you need more specific help after doing your own research ([i]trying[/i] to learn to fish) then please ask, including details of what you tried and where you encountered difficulties where applicable, and help will be forthcoming.

Have a nice day.

Phil, there was absolutely no sarcasm about thanking you on helping me out. My thanking was genuine. My dissatisfaction was exactly what I said. I had gone though hundreds of pages in the forum and I could not find something helpful for version 6, since it's very new. So I asked for help. Instead I got a reply sending me back to square one. However the pointers you gave me helped me to solve my problem within 5 minutes! My problem was that I was trying to install a 32 bit repo in a 64 bit distro. Now that had nothing to do with the pointers the others gave me. All I am saying is when you don't know something, you shouldn't try to help.

With respect,

7of9
