Install Wine 1.7.3 in RHEL/CentOS 5&6

            Wine is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applicationson several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.


Why Wine is so important:

           A lot of people in popular discussion forums keep thinking that Wine is "the last thing that Linux needs" or that it is "not important". We are listing some info here that is supposed to thoroughly defeat these and other claims.
 

Install dependency Packages first:

[root@bsrtech.net ~]# yum  groupinstall "Development Tools" -y

[root@bsrtech.net ~]# yum install libX11-devel freetype-devel -y
