If you’re trying to run putty, why not install it from epel? ```auto dnf install epel-release dnf install putty ``` If you insist on using wine, you would likely need a 32 bit prefix. ```auto WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 WINEARCH=32 wine wineboot WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 WINEARCH=32 wine putty ``` ---

Actually, I have to run 32bit windows application that I develop. So, this is not problem only putty anyway, I did following WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 WINEAPRCH=win32 wine wineboot then, installed wine mongo, wine gecko. but, I can not execute my putty.exe WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 WINEAPRCH=win32 wine /home/wine/putty.exe error messages are “0f0:err:process:exec\_process L"Z:\home\wine\putty.exe” not supported on this system" Question is… Is it possible to run 32bit application with wine64 without install 32bit libraries? ---

Alas there is no wine.i386 on Rocky (CentOS etc) but there are options like : - compile by yourself wine (you need both 32 and 64 bits) - use the standalone wine from [GitHub - Kron4ek/Conty: Easy to use unprivileged Linux container packed into a single portable executable](https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty) or [GitHub - Kron4ek/Wine-Builds: Wine builds (Vanilla, Staging, TkG and Proton)](https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds) , I prefer the 1st one (conty\_wine) as there is no ‘winetricks’ on the second one - CrossOver - (not free btw) There is PlayOnLinux on repos but I did not check it out , also as flatpak … YMMV ---

There should be a native Linux version available for Putty (maybe you just need to look for the repo where it is available). You shouldn’t need to run it under wine, nor should you need a 32bit version. I usually use Debian, & there Putty is directly installable via the package manager! ---

Thanky you for all. I got success on rocky linux 8.9 my step is followings. 1. dnf install epel-release 2. dnf config-manager --set-enable powertools 3. dnf groupinstall ‘Development Tools’ -y 4. dnf install libgcc.i686 glibc-devel.i686 libX11.i686 freetype.i686 freetype-devel.i686 libX11-devel.i686 5. wget [https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/6.0/wine-6.0.2.tar.xz](https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/6.0/wine-6.0.2.tar.xz) 6. tar xvf wine-6.0.2.tar.xz 7. cd wine-6.0.2 8. ./configure 9. make 10. make install I tried wine-8.X source, but failed because of freetype packages. I just suceed with wine-6.0.2 source ---
