why I failed to Install "wine"

[Sharfuddin]

I wana ask a favor, please help me.
I m using RedHat 8.0. I want to install "wine", and when I issue the rpm command(# rpm -ivh wine-20020605-2.rpm), I receive the following Error Message:

error: Failed dependencies:
libsane.so.1 is needed by wine-20020605-2

So please kindly let me know, why I m receiving this error message, and what I shuld do, to overcome.

You need to install "libsane". wine needs this to work. Try and find an RPM of libsane and install that first.

you need to install sane-backends-
RPM

This is called RPM Depedency Hell.

Check with the wine readme or website about the requirements before installing wine.

Or you can take the rough path of finding the dependencies one by and installing the same.

When you proceed installing libsane it may ask some other dependency package which you need to install.

Personally I had experience with wine some 1 year before. After that I never used that.

Hello,

from the Wine website it seems you will definitly need CUPS. Other packages (also Sane) are not explicitly mentioned, it most probably depends on how the binary you are trying to install was build. This might be an issue of trial and error...

Maybe 'wine' works without that library. 'sane' is an interface tool for scanners... It could be not strictly necessary.
You can force the installation adding the --nodeps option.
