I use madrake linux version 9.0 and I am trying to install THIS (http://www.codeweavers.com/technology/wine/help.php#mandrake) program (x11r6 contrib) but I get THIS (http://www.geocities.com/nothingplace/index.htm) error. What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks.

ok we have 2 ways of trying something here, the dangerous way and the safe way.
the dangerous way:
rpm -i --force whatever.rpm

it's dangerous because it forces an overwrite of files which it already has assosiated with XFree86 which is your GUI type thingy... what lets it look like Windows instead of DOS.

the safe way:
download the source and compile it from scratch

I didn't get the "dangerous way".

I don't know what to type :rolleyes:

Can you explain it clearly please?

where it says this
rpm -i itcl-8.3.2-4mdk.i586.rpm

type this
rpm -i --force itcl-8.3.2-4mdk.i586.rpm

notice the difference is highlighted. i dont know if this is the file you are actually using... i just took a file name that it had on the page :D
