based on Aake's ideas, I wrote this script. It installs 32-bit and 64-bit wine on Ubuntu 10.10. Rybka 4.exe and the other 64-bit engines I've tested have all worked. automated compile of 64/32 bit wine for Ubuntu 10.10: http://www.jesseo.com/chess/64-bit-wine-ubuntu.sh perhaps someone could tell me how I turn this script into a deb file.

Most provide 32-bit and 64-bit engines. But on my 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 only an error message appears i.e. with the free Stockfish 1.8.Why are you running these chess engines and viewers under Wine? Most of these are available as native Linux programs.
