extracted wine-0.9.60 and ran ./tools/wineinstall , it configured and compiled. then after putting in root password I getcould not find wine on your system.run wineinstall as root to install before rerunning wineinstall as a user. So I enter root and root password and then i retry ./tools/wineinstall and get WINE Installer v0.75 You are running wineinstall as root, this is not advisable. Please rerun as a user. Aborting. wine is in directory /home/trevor/.wine/wine-0.9.60. How can I finish this or will I have to uninstall and try installing manually?

Why are you logged in as root? If you're logged in as root right now, log out right now! Log in as a normal, non-root user, then go read this. http://www.newlinuxuser.com/explain-why-not-log-on-as-root/ Then, try again, and when you get output from software, read it. -- Paul Johnson baloo at ursine.ca Explaination of .pgp part: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Mail/rant-gpg.html -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

uninstalled wine and rm -rf ~/.wine. then extracted wine 0.9.60 to usr/local/wine. ran ./tools/wineinstall till it got to the part to put in the password for root. then it did the same thing as before: Could not find wine on your system. Run wineinstall as root to install wine before re-running wineinstall as a user. Reread the installation instructions and the only thing I can do unless someone can find the problem is to wipe and remove all traces of wine and manually install.
