Had the same problems recently:
try;
#urpmi glibc-static
[ The GUI way is pretty much how Chuck describes it.]
And to run notepad the command is simply:
$notepad
[ You don't use all the rest like you WILL do when you start installing other programs.]

Hi,
I'm still getting up to speed with Wine, so I can't help with the first one, but I had this error too (static glibc req'd).
I went to the Configuration "Package Manager" thing (I think that is what it is called) and chose "Install software". From there I typed "glibc" in the search line and also I listed the packages by update availability (I think that's what it was). It did a search and produced an "Addable" category; in there I was able to identify the static glibc libraries. After installing that I was able to compile/configure/install Wine.
NB: After a conversation on the Wine IRC channel I found out that, contrary to the advice in the Wine User Guide, that RPMs are reliable (well, at least those from the official winehq.com site) and so I didn't really need to go the the 2+ hour compile road...
So you might consider grabbing the 06152004 version from the website- it is the latest. NB: the graphical configure tool included only works up to the version before 06152004, but you might not need it anyway, esp. if you are doing a 'no windows' install.
Good Luck, Chuck

Subject: [newbie] Wine 20040213
urpmeI need Wine to run a handful of programs.
I installed the Wine 20040213 from urpmi and it went fine. I try to run wine c:\\windows\\notepad.exe and it says it can't find notepad.exe. I cd into the directory holding this file and it still can't find notepad.exe. I checked the .wine/config file and everything for the [Drive c] is setup correctly.
So, I urpme'd wine and downloaded the latest build of wine and when it is doing it's configure, I get the following error:
configure: error: You need to install the static version of glibc to build Wine.
I went to urpmi glibc, but it says everything is installed. I went to
glibc but it says too many things need that and can't remove it.
So, I have two questions:
1) How can I get the wine-20040213.rpm to run properly?
or
2) How can I update my glibc so that the custom Wine build will work?
Thanks for the help.
