wine users - Jul 2003 - WINE Install Issues...

Hey, everybody.

I'm kinda new to this list as well as WINE, so excuse the newbie, pls :)

On to the problem. I'm running (or trying to run) Wine 2003618, compiled
from source on RedHat 9. I ran wineinstall, and everything seems to
compile fine; however, when I get to the part where it installs the
registry, I get this:

Preparing to install default WINE registry entries...
Installing default WINE registry entries...

wineserver: /tmp/.wine-sean must not be accessible by other users
Registry install failed.

When I try to run WINE (by typing "wine"), I get 
wineserver: /tmp/.wine-sean must not be accessible by other users

Help. Panic. Thanks =)

Howdy,
 
Okay. After some more delving into the usenet, I discovered that there is
apparently a mini-howto for Redhat 9 users. However, I downloaded the most
recent version of the documentation I could find, and I'm still not seeing
it. Is there anyone who has a link to said howto offhand?
 
Thanks,

I elected to install from the source tarball.

You are welcome.
