Wine installation woes and/or up2date issue

[Savory Chicken]

Problem one: I downloaded wine so I can play the games I know and love. I entered into the terminal rpm -Uvh <filename>
It went through the whole process, but I cannot find Wine on my system. I believe it did not install. Can someone help me figure out where I erred?

Problem two: I only recently switched to fedora 1, so I am being informed by the flashing ! (by the clock) that I have 110 updates. Unfortunately, it also informs me I have up2date-4.3.16-1, whereas I need up2date-4.3.19-1. In searching online, I have been unsuccessful in finding an update for up2date. Help me?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem one:
type wine in a console.

Problem two:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu....21-3.i386.rpm

Tips: use yum for the update

being completely new to linux (3 days), what is yum?

edit: and does it matter that that download is 386 instead of 686?

Alright. Yum is the default package manager for Fedora.
Here is some documentation for you:

tried installing the up2date rpm.

/etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: invalid context system_u: object_r:staff_home_spamassassin_t on line number 1856
error: Failed dependencies:
up2date = 4.3.16 is needed by (installed) up2date-gnome-4.3.16-1


Any ideas?

from this documentation, I get that, to install Yum, all I do is type "# yum check-update"

but that does nothing...

edit: typing "wine" in the terminal yields:

wine: failed to create the process heap



Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I really need the help.

It looks like you've installed one of the Fedora Core 2 test releases with SELinux (Secure Environment Linux) enabled - personally, I was never able to get things working right with SE turned on.

However, if you right-click on the red flashing !, you should see Launch up2date on the menu - select that, enter your root password and follow the prompts. That's probably the easiest way to go...

Hmm. Okay, try this - open a terminal, su to root and enter yum update. yum should then download the necessary header files and then list all the updates it will perform when you enter y at the prompt. This is the method that I've used when up2date has been too slow.

Be advised that the above can take quite a bit of time, depending on your connection speed.

Good luck!

Definately long. My cable is out, so I'm using 56k that connects at 28.8

and any thoughts on the wine problem?

Nothing specific - I've never used wine, myself. From an earlier post, I'm not sure if "failed to create the precess heap" is SELinux-related or not. Perhaps you should try Run Application... from the main menu?

There's a wine HOWTO in this forum....
