I have recently added the appropriate lines to my sources.list and done an apt-get install wine, read the included documentation, and run winesetup. Here are the results: tilleyrw@debian:~$ wine Warning: The Wine launcher is unable to find xmessage. This launcher script relies heavily on finding this tool, and without it, it will behave poorly. Most Linux distributions have one or the other of these tools. We strongly recommend that you use your distributions software methods to locate xmessage. Wine called with no arguments. Invoking /usr/bin/wine.bin ... /usr/bin/wine: -buttons: command not found /usr/bin/wine: -title: command not found /usr/bin/wine: line 538: 9623 Terminated tail -f $log_name tilleyrw@debian:~$ I'm a clueless newbie in trying to get Wine to do anything. I don't even know how to play Solitaire with it! The need for help is great at this point in time. -- Robert Tilley <tilleyrw@cfl.rr.com>

Maybe it needs to be added to the dependencies? But I don't see how you managed to install X without... well, you can install this particular package (xbase-clients), but I'd recommend installing task-x-window-system, or at least task-x-window-system-core.
Try apt-get install task-x-window-system-core This worked for me Steve Ball Robert Tilley wrote:> I have recently added the appropriate lines to my sources.list and done an > apt-get install wine, read the included documentation, and run winesetup. > > Here are the results: > > tilleyrw@debian:~$ wine > > Warning: > The Wine launcher is unable to find xmessage. > > This launcher script relies heavily on finding this tool, > and without it, it will behave poorly. > > Most Linux distributions have one or the other of these > tools. > > We strongly recommend that you use your distributions > software methods to locate xmessage. > Wine called with no arguments. > Invoking /usr/bin/wine.bin ... > /usr/bin/wine: -buttons: command not found > /usr/bin/wine: -title: command not found > /usr/bin/wine: line 538: 9623 Terminated tail -f $log_name > tilleyrw@debian:~$ > > I'm a clueless newbie in trying to get Wine to do anything.
