Hmm. Could you please tell us some details about your Linux? (bash version, distribution, etc.) > Why is this the preferred method? Because it setups a complete fake_windows directory including directories, symbolic links to some wine programs, a default registry and a config file matching to your system. Doing this all from scratch is error-prone and uncomfortable.. ;-) An alternative to wineinstall is the usual "./configure && make dep && make && make install" and then using WineSetupTk to configure wine. (But I like the wineinstall script better..) > Anyone have any ideas about these errors? Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. These errors are rather weird - they're not from wineinstall but from configure, which makes it a little more complicated ... Are you sure that you've done exactly these steps: cd ~ tar -xzvf Wine-20030508.tar.gz cd wine ./tools/wineinstall If you did so, I can't imagine what's going wrong. My only guess is, that some installed programs (aka bash) are in a wrong version and then wineinstall triggers a bug which gives these errors.
