Install wine on SLES 11

Wine package can be downloaded from the web site of http://www.winehq.org/.

To install wine on SLES 11, two rpm packages are required: wine-gecko and wine. The packages downloaded are wine-1.3.19-1.1.i586.rpm and wine-gecko-1.2.0-22.1.noarch.rpm. When installing the packages, it complains about libgphoto library on 64 bit OS. But I found the 64-bit package is already installed. So I run the following to force install.

rpm -ivh --nodeps wine*.rpm

After this, wine works now and I can install some wine supported software.
