How do I completely remove Wine?

[Bakshara]

Dungeon-Dave,

 

Now, if you have installed a package WITH YUM from online repos then you can use YUM to uninstall it:

Code:

yum erase wine-core
yum erase wine-pulseaudio

<div>


If you have extracted and compiled it manually, you will need to remove the files you have compiled to delete it.

 

As a tip: if you do "rpm -ql | grep -i wine" and it shows any wine packages, use "rpm -e" or "yum erase" to delete them. If the Wine packages don't show up in that list, then you have manually compiled them from source - but from the information in your posts, it looks like you're downloading and extracting the source files, running though the configure... then using yum to ignore the locally-stored extracted packages and install from online repos instead.

 

Hope that helps. I honestly feel the uninstall issues you are encountering are from your confusion over how something is installed... which means you could be looking in the wrong place to remove it.

Thank you. That seems to be more helpful.

 

I did the

Code:

yum erase wine-core

[root@Bakshara ~]# yum erase wine-core

Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit

Setting up Remove Process

No Match for argument: wine-core

Package(s) wine-core available, but not installed.

No Packages marked for removal

Code:

yum erase wine-pulseaudio

[root@Bakshara ~]# yum erase wine-pulseaudio

Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit

Setting up Remove Process

No Match for argument: wine-pulseaudio

Package(s) wine-pulseaudio available, but not installed.

No Packages marked for removal

 

Code:

rpm -ql | grep -i wine

[root@Bakshara ~]# rpm -ql | grep -i wine

rpm: no arguments given for query

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

 

So, hopefully this information will be more helpful.

 

Gratefully,

Doh! Sorry - "rpm -qa | grep -i wine"

the "-l" = list contents of this package. "-qa" = query all, list ALL packages.

Ok,

 

The latest news. I have successfully removed Wine completely.

I tried to install wine-1.1.24, but it installed wine-1.1.23 instead. I was fine with that. What I really wanted was to document the entire install.

 

I'm documenting every thing I did to completely uninstall wine at the bottom of this message.*

 

Now these are the wine bz2 files I had downloaded:

wine-1.1.30

wine-1.1.29

wine-1.1.28

wine-1.1.27

wine-1.1.26

wine-1.1.25

wine-1.1.24

wine-1.1.23

wine-1.1.1

 

when I did

Code:

yum install wine

it installed wine-1.1.29. I uninstalled it. I compressed all but wine-1.1.24 and did

Code:

yum install wine

and it installed wine-1.1.29 again. So, I uninstalled it again. I deleted that compressed file and did

Code:

yum install wine

again. Once again it installed wine-1.1.29. You can see that the latest distribution on WineHQ is wine-1.1.32.

 

Dungeon-Dave you said,

No - THIS is where you are going wrong. YUM installs packages from HTTP or FTP sources - it does NOT install the version you extracted.

This is where I am really confused. My latest attempt was to install wine-1.1.24. It is the only version I have download and extracted. wine-1.1.32 is the latest version. Why did it install wine-1.1.29?

I did a search Applications

Under Applications I saw:

Main Menu

I opened that an inside it I saw several instances of Wine Application and a few winebrowser. It would not let me perform a group delete. I had to delete those each one by one.

Under /home/Bakshara was .wine and .winetrickscache I deleted those.

After all of this I believe Wine was completely GONE.

This is where I am really confused. My latest attempt was to install wine-1.1.24. It is the only version I have download and extracted. wine-1.1.32 is the latest version. Why did it install wine-1.1.29?

The answer has been specified several times in previous posts. You even quoted it above this question:

No - THIS is where you are going wrong. YUM installs packages from HTTP or FTP sources - it does NOT install the version you extracted.

To install the version you extracted, you will need to compile it manually.

 

The way you are using YUM means it is ignoring your downloaded packages and fetching wine-1.1.29 from fedora's repos.

Thank you!

Two questions:

1) How do I do that? How do I compile it manually?

2) Why does it fetch wine-1.1.29 and not the latest wine-1.1.32?

[Dungeon-Dave]

Thank you!

Two questions:

I refer you back to my previous post:

If you have extracted the files, you now need to read the README file that was extracted, and follow the instructions within that.

2) Why does it fetch wine-1.1.29 and not the latest wine-1.1.32?

Because that is what will have been compiled and placed on the repos:

Is this ok [y/N]:

So for my Fedora7 repo, the version available to me is 1.0-0.3. For your release of Fedora, the repos have a later version (but not the very latest).

[Bakshara]

Ok I did this:

If you have extracted the files, you now need to read the README file that was extracted, and follow the instructions within that.

...per WineOn64bit (Building Wine on Fedora 11 x86_64)

 

It did a whole bunch of stuff. Then I did:

Code:

./configure

 

This is the response I got:

[root@Bakshara ~]# ./configure

-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

[root@Bakshara ~]#

I have no Wine menu. What else do I need to do?

 

Thanks in advance

I think you ran ./configure from the wrong directory. If you notice in the prompt, it says: root@Bakshara ~]. That '~' indicates you were in the home directory (for root, since that's who you were logged in as). You will first need to use cd to move into the directory where the extracted wine files are, before ./configure will work.

 

For example, if the extracted files are on the desktop of a user named bakshara:

 

Code:

cd /home/bakshara/Desktop/wine-1.1.32/
./configure

 

and then continue to follow the README instructions from after the ./configure stage.

[Bakshara]

Ok, it's been a while, but I am back and have given it a serious go.

 

I found this site that is VERY helpful. The one adjustment, you may have to make, is where it says, "2) The source code for Wine will be stored in a folder named "wine". Type cd wine press Enter." go to the directory where ever you download whatever version of Wine.

http://wiki.oldos.org/Linux/WineHowTo

 

Then I followed all of the instructions step-by-step. The following is the response I got:

[bakshara@Bakshara wine-1.1.24]$ ./tools/wineinstallWine Installer v1.0

 

Running configure...

See `config.log' for more details.

What do I need to do to address the "error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" issue?

 

Thanks for all your help!

P.S. Is it possible to to install and operate two versions of Wine?

Presuming you're still using Fedora as you were in the first post in this thread, you need to use this command to install the software development tools:

 

Code:

su -
[[enter your root password when prompted]]
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Legacy Software Development"
