[users] CentOS 4 - Gecko package for Wine?

[Bart Schaefer]

A couple of days ago I yum-updated to wine-1.2-1.el4.rf and related
packages. This morning I fired up my first Windows app and got the
message that the Gecko module was not installed; wine offered to
install it but I canceled that, assuming I could get it from the repo.

However, when I check the list of installable modules in Yum Extender,
there's nothing for gecko or wine that I don't already have.

This isn't causing me a problem at the moment (apparently I don't use
anything from Windows that embeds HTML processing) but I felt I should
point it out in case it's merely an oversight.

I have seen the same thing. It asks you once, but if you deny it works
nevertheless. I think it's something like a firstboot question ? Not sure
what we can do about it :-/

I also have wine 1.3.1 packages available from the testing repository, for
those who want the latest development releases.

As usual, I should have started from a Google search:

Thanks for that :-) I had experienced the same thing, but after that it
worked out fine, so forgot to look into it. I now have build and pushed
packages with the gecko cabinet file included. Please let me know if this
works fine.

Also, I have newer wine 1.3.1 packages available from the testing
repository. So if you fancy testing the latest wine, you can find it
there.

Hope this helps !
