This one seems to work fine, but when I check my version again by typing "wine --version" I still get 1.0. > > Is there something really obvious I'm missing here? You have installed binary version of Wine (already precompiled). The "tar.bz2" you talking about is the source code. You can't use it as-is. It needs to be compiled first. GIT is a "source control system" Wine uses. You can't use it and the tarball (that .tar.bz2 file) together. If you use tarball - you need to extract it first Code: cd ~ tar xjf wine-1.1.6.tar.bz2 Then compile it: Code: cd ~/.wine-1.1.6 ./configure --verbose make depend all However before you try to compile Wine you'll need number of required development packages for it: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages
