So I'm trying to build the latest version of Wine and I receive this in the terminal: We need to install Wine as the root user. Do you want us to build Wine, 'su root' and install Wine? Enter 'no' to build Wine without installing: (yes/no) I say yes then it's like: Wine Installer v1.0 We need to install Wine as the root user. Do you want us to build Wine, 'su root' and install Wine? Enter 'no' to build Wine without installing: (yes/no) yes Running configure... checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for g++... g++ checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking for cpp... cpp checking whether gcc -m32 works... no configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries. Configure failed, aborting install So I search and then I find this: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-6425d16f19f5058ca4cb93961bdbd4265468dc61 I do the easier way, it does its thing and at the very end it says: ldconfig deferred processing now taking place + uname -m + test x86_64 = x86_64 + echo I do not know how to install 32 bit libraries for distro Ubuntu 11.10 yet I do not know how to install 32 bit libraries for distro Ubuntu 11.10 yet So now I'm stuck. I can't build Wine because I need the libraries and I can't download the libraries because I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 x64.... Any solutions/suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
