How to install wine on Amazon linux ami

Question

i am trying to install wine on Amazon Linux AMI.

First, i did

   sudo yum install wine

it said that "No wine package available."

Than i did the following

   sudo rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
   sudo yum install wine -y

At the end of the output i get the following

...
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: wine-core-1.0.1-1.el5.i386 (epel)
           Requires: libgphoto2_port.so.0
Error: Package: wine-esd-1.0.1-1.el5.i386 (epel)
           Requires: libesd.so.0

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

plz can you help me to get wine installed and running? thanks a lot in advance!!!

Answer 1

It seems there's no wine package for Amazon Linux.

You can always install from source: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source

Just install the dependencies needed to build from source with yum.

Answer 2

What is the version of Amazon Linux you are using ?

Recent Amazon AMI's are based on EL6 upstream. EPEL 6 bundles wine.
