In Linux, no one can hear you Wine

[Bayard Coolidge]

What version of wine are you running? If it's the one that shipped with SuSE 9.3, or even SuSE 10.0, it's waaaaayyyy out of date. Best bet may be to visit the winehq website, look for the latest release and check carefully for pre-compiled binaries. Often/usually, one of the SuSE staffers makes an unofficial but usable RPM for the later SuSE distros that installs quickly and easily.

That said, once you get wine installed, you need to read up on it and take careful note of what it can and cannot do currently. I finally had to dig up a copy of W2K and throw it on a spare disk in order to install the software for my Garmin IQue3600 PDA because the installation system used by Garmin/Palm simply wouldn't work under wine - kept barfing on the .msi files or somesuch. So, there are still a lot of unfortunate gotcha's. I had similar problems with a commercial program used to program handheld radio transcievers used in the land-mobile and amateur markets - it could install on Windows 3.1, but NOT under wine.

HTH,

Bayard
