As winetools recommends 20041019, I am compiling from source on my Fedora Core 4 box. If I try to do it as root in /usr/local/bin then I do ./complile->make depend->make->make install. When I try to do make install I am informed that I must not be root. So I su to user and I am told that I had to unpack the tarball as user. But if I try to unpack the tarball as user (after erasing all that was unpacked by root), then for each file I get: "Cannot open: No such file or directory". So I think that maybe the problem is that I am doing it in /usr/local/bin, where user has no permissions. So where should I unpack it? And if I do the install as a user, then will others users be able to use wine? Thank you all. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/artist_albums/64/the_beatles.php Beatles Song Lyrics

Then, within that, navigate to the "tools" folder and run the "wineinstall" script as a regular user. It will take care of everything for you; all you need to do is answer its questions. After that, any user who uses the "wine" command will be able to use it. Hiji ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

When is su I am in /root directory. Should I do it there? Or should I do it as a regular user? I know where NOT to do it (/temp for instance) but when you say choice, could you give me a few examples of places that I can choose from?> Then, within that, navigate to the > "tools" folder and run the "wineinstall" script as a > regular user.
