I'm trying to install wine with FC2, but I continue to get the error listed below:

*** Warning: X development files not found. Wine will be built without
*** X support, which currently does not work, and would probably not be
*** what you want anyway. You will need to install devel packages of
*** Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.

Looks to me that FC2 uses Xorg, not Xfree, so I'm guessing it makes little sense to install X development files? Am I correct? Should I still install X devel packages?

And if so, where do I find them -- they aren't part of my RPMs on the ISOs as far as I can tell.

What ideas for getting wine running?

yes you will need the X dev files, or you could try installing wine with apt/or yum see the apt link in my sig :D

what are those devel files called?

I tried yum install X dev -- nothing found

I'll have to look into this a little more but you could try installing XFree86-sdk, I was lazy when I installed wine I used apt :o :)

Unfortunately apt does not have a wine install for Fedora Core 2 -- at least, not one I could find.

Also, no such file when I try "yum install XFree86-sdk."

Any other thoughts?

Would the redhat version not work?

Since FC2 doesn't use XFree, why install any XFree packages? :confused:

Try xorg-x11-sdk ;)

Try xorg-x11-sdk

I'll have to try this at home this evening. I'm wondering if that will work, considering I'm using Xorg, but the install is asking me for Xfree dev packages? Thanks for the tips.

I think the SDK would only be useful for creating xorg apps, I'd personly try the xorg-x11-devel for getting the compile to work ;)

Thanks Icarus. I'll give it a try this evening and follow up with results positive and negative.
