You can try to download source code from winehq.org: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-0.9.27.tar.bz2 . Then unpack, cd to directory with Wine source code and try to compile it by executing (if you have 64-bit system): LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32" \ ./configure \ --x-libraries=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib/ \ --x-includes=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/include \ --with-x && \ make depend && \ make all && \ sudo make install; Or if you have 32-bit system: LDFLAGS="-L/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib" \ ./configure \ --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib/ \ --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \ --with-x && \ make depend && \ make all && \ sudo make install; Please note that paths for your distribution may differ (if this is the case then change them accordingly). Before executing these command please uninstall your current Wine package. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
