I tried to install Wine, but I get this message in console. /home/user> cd wine-1.0 /home/user/wine-1.0> .tools/wineinstall Wine Installer v1.0 Running configure... checking build system type ... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking host system type ... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking whether make sets $(MAKE) ... no checking for gcc ... no checking for cc ... no checking for cl.exe ... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log` for more details. Configure failed, aborting install. Please can somebody explain me what went wrong ? Do I need to install an `acceptable C compiler` ? I do not understand the `config.log`. Thanks in advance. greetings, cordebra :(

You'd be better off installed a precompiled package.

I cannot remove wine entries :?
lolz, the clicky (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=10885#10885) is a link to another topic here are the instructions anyways if: sudo dpkg --purge wine says wine is not installed just follow these instructions. it might be wise to print them out too... the following works for the 701 [edit] and also for the 901! to install wine 1.0 open a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) and type: sudo kwrite /etc/apt/preferences [press enter] copy and paste this to the file: Package: * Pin: origin updates.xepc.org Pin-Priority: 935 Save and exit kWrite in a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) type: sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list [press enter] copy and paste this line to sources.list: deb http://updates.xepc.org/ p701 main Save and exit kWrite. Staying in terminal type: sudo apt-get update [press enter] Staying in terminal type: apt-cache policy wine [press enter] if the return is Candidate: 1.0.0-1+eeepc2 from xepc then all is good! Staying in terminal type: sudo apt-get install wine [press enter] when installed, from terminal type: winecfg opens settings for wine
