installing playonlinux

Latest response

Hello friends, have a little problem, have a rhel 7.3 installation as desktop, I'm trying to install playonlinux and added your repo (for fedora), when try to install show this error if dependencies, I tried to install it form rpmfind, it require other, and other another and need to search manually all the dependencies ... :( need so much time, do you know how can I do for resolve for more ease the installation?

Error: Paquete: wine-core-1.8.6-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Necesita: mesa-libOSMesa(x86-64)
Error: Paquete: playonlinux-4.2.10-fedora0.noarch (playonlinux)
Necesita: redhat-lsb

The first mesa-libOSMesa installed without problems but redhat-lsb, ..... is the problem.

thank you

redhat-lsb is in the main Server/Workstation/Desktop channel: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/redhat-lsb/4.1-27.el7/x86_64/fd431d51/package so that should be found no problem.

I think the problem you have is that mesa-libOSMesa is in the Optional channel: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/mesa-libOSMesa/11.2.2-2.20160614.el7/x86_64/fd431d51/package but you probably don't have the Optional channel enabled.

Try add the Optional channel. The channel names are rhel-7-server-optional-rpms or rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms or rhel-7-desktop-optional-rpms depending on the RHEL install you are using.

Although I tend to live more in Crossover, I do have on my RHEL7.3 Worstation install PoL setup, and actually have had few issues. The one problem I am having is one ansillary package (at work, cant recall exactly) handling LDAP that is missing. All 32-Bit containers work beautifully for Battle.netv(all games except Overwatch, which has a DX11 dependency), Nostalrius, Path of Exile, Rift, and Steam for Windows.

I would look at what missing repo you have. I have a number of RH ones, my own I maintain, Nux, EPEL, and Negativo's and pretty much can do whatever the Dronebuntu and AAAAAAARCH!!! fanboys can do.

If you wouldnt mind, I have a guide for getting wine rocking on EL7 on my website (www.schotty.com). Could you gloss over it and see if I perhaps missed anything or more importantly, overlooked something that may cause issues (such as RHEL repos in your case)?

Thanks, and happy gaming! Andrew.

Hello, finally i could solve the problem, missing packages was in the rhel-7-desktop-optional-rpms repo, I enable it and voila, all work, just not could do to work 32bits software as office by example, seems like that need some library for run on a 64 bits host:

Linux *.localdomain 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Nov 16 13:15:13 EST 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

thank you.

I haven't played with Wine on EL7, but on other distros I find it's easier to install 32-bit Wine and let Linux handle the cross-arch stuff. This works better for me than running 64-bit Wine then trying to run 32-bit Windows apps inside that.

Here is my post with the necessary packages to get installed to have 32-bit wine work correctly (or PoL or Crossover).

Thank's Andre, just one question, my desktop have rhel desktop 64 bits, in your tutorial suggest install packages 32 bits, thats correct?, by example glibc.i686

Regards.

Enzo, yes. Install 32bit stuff. You likely have the 64bit stuff already there, but for wine to run 32bit applications (most of the supported stuff is just the 32bit versions, 64bit is still a work in progress), you will need the entire library chain the application needs to be present in 32bit form. Same for 64bit, you will need the 64bit libraries present.

I am also running RHEL 7.3 (Worskation), and those are what are needed to get 32bit apps running (may need one or two more for a strange edge case, but I have done installs for friends using a script that includes those packages to be installed with no issues as of yet).
