where is wine?

Hi,

I installed Arch Linux about 2 days ago and I am currently having trouble finding the wine package. I went to the wine wiki to see if I was doing it right and issuing the command "pacman -Sy wine" give the result that the package does not exist. I was using the ibiblio mirror but then I switched to the official mirror and new packages were available. I have since switched to the

Server = ftp://mirrors.unixheads.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

mirror but I am still unable to find wine. Is there some reason for this or am I doing something wrong? I am able to find and install other packages just fine. Thanks for any information you can provide.

wine is available as a 32-bit package only since it depends on 32-bit libraries and Arch 64-bit isn't multilib (mixed 32-/64-bit libraries). You either have to enable Community and probably build some packages from AUR (for dependencies) and then build bin32-wine. Or you could set up a 32-bit chroot (instructions can be found in the wiki).

WineOn64Bit also contains some information about the issue as well.

See wine on Arch thread.

Thanks for the information. I was having trouble finding information on wine and I didn't realize there wasn't a true 64 bit version of it. This will come in handy. Right now I am working on solving some other problems first though.
