I've been trying to help someone install wine on a Vector Linux system and it appears to install correctly, but there are loads of problems. The fixme statements are exactly the same as for another installation on a different distribution (Mandriva Linux) which works correctly and exhibits none of the same problems. There used to be a utility called winecheck which one could run to check the installation. It would go through and identify problem areas. I can't find this file in the current source. I found it particularly helpful because, although computer terms have specific meaning to computer programmers and developers, they don't have the same specific meanings to computer users. Winecheck was helpful in figuring out what was really being asked for. Without understanding that, going through the FAQ or other documentation doesn't help much; the user is doing one thing, thinking he or she is doing what's being asked for, but in fact it is something different. Is there a current equivalent to winecheck for the beta wine? How is a user supposed to be able to tell if wine installed correctly? Thanks, deedee

If you installed wine using your distros package management, it will tell you wether installation was succesfull. If you compiled from source and did a 'make install', you'll have to check to output for errors. Daniel
