Why does it have 'diff' in the filename? To me that would indicate a patch for Wine and should be extracted in the main Wine directory or most likely you need to apply it against the previous Wine source package (i.e. wine-20021209.tar.gz) and recompile Wine.

Wherever you downloaded the file from, I would imagine they would have some kind of documentation/instructions on what to do with it.

instructions but steal it didnt work is it that am doing

What didn't work? The same error as before?

You do know that Mandrake 8.2 does include a Wine rpm package on their installation cd(s) unless you are planning to install a newer version of what 8.2 has.

no i didnt now that mandrake 8.2 comes with wine (lol)
i feel dumn
in what directory can i finde it ?

Check to see if wine is installed first.

rpm -qa | grep wine

and if not, locate on your installation cd(s) and install (as root) with

rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm
