winetools2.1.1 can't locate xdialog 2.1.2-1

[Duncan Lithgow]

I'm having trouble installing a windows app - so I thought I'd start 
by running winetools. It won't start - yum & smart pm can't find it 
so I guess it's not there.

So, I've downloaded it and Xdialog again. I've reinstalled Xdialog and 
upon trying to install winetools I get a message that it can't find 
Xdialog! Any ideas why?

I can't find any reference to this on google or this list.

Duncan, I think winetools-2.1.1 is an as yet undocumented, different 
animal than its predecessors.  Try entered "wt2" (without the quotes) on 
a command line.

Should I try and get an older version instead for
now?

$ bash: wt2: command not found

Why would one program not be able to find another one? Smart finds it 
no probs...

further ideas?

How did you install winetools?  Since your earlier message noted that 
Xdialogue could also not be found I was operating on the assumption that 
you had installed from an rpm.  If you installed from a tar ball instead 
you likely need to create some softlinks as described in the winetools 
installation instructions.

i downloaded the rpm for fc
from the distributors site 
(http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/#install)

any reason why that'd be a problem? i did the same for Xdialog - i 
couldn't find it with yum.

Duncan,
My prior comments are all based on an experience yesterday that closely 
resembled yours.  I had used winetools-2.1.0 to setup wine and was 
having difficulty getting anything to run.  Windows install programs 
appeared to run just fine but then wine could not find them so I decided 
to wipe out everything I had installed up to that point and start over.  
A Winetools-2.1.1 rpm had become available in the interim so I used it 
instead of 2.1.0. with the result that "wt" could not be found.

Looking in /usr/local/winetools and /usr/local/bin, I found files that 
were not present after installation of 2.1.0.  For one thing, 
/usr/local/winetools contains a tarball.  For another, /usr/local/bin 
contains a file "wt2" instead of the "wt" found after installation of

winetools-2.1.0.

Have you tried the wine users list? Joachim von Thadden, winetools'
developer, is quite active there. It is the de facto users list for
winetools.

I have a non-windows installation of wine and winetools running on
FC3. I won't say it has no problems, but it does what I want it to do.
