Based on your release criteria I'll go ahead an submit the bug. Must learn how to do this. Actually, I had started to upgrade to the newest CVS early this morning, but the installation program gives some message about binaries being incorrect versions and tells you to uninstall Wine first. I tried 'make uninstall' but that didn't work. Maybe I was in the wrong location or something to make that work. I couldn't use rpm -e and my machine doesn't have 'dpkg' installed. The install of Wine is almost the smoothest thing I've done in Linux, and I'm no super user by any means. I'm also running Jack, Rosegarden and Ardour. All much simpler but considerably more difficult to install. One input would be to make sure the uninstall process is better documented in the README because it just didn't work on my distribution. (RH 7.3) I eventually just went ahead and let it do the compile and everything seems to have gotten handled - correctly, I hope! ;-) > > > > I'll have to do more study to understand what the difference in these > >modes are.
