Hello Chip well, bit the bullet, built, configured and made wine. "Make install" gives me an error - perhaps I need to use sudo make install, but I am loathe to go further without a little in the way of pointers. Wine is already installed on the computer. Here is the code - I have left out all the repeated bits: Code: ~/wine-git$ make install make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pj/wine-git/tools' make[1]: `makedep' is up to date. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pj/wine-git/tools' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pj/wine-git/libs' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pj/wine-git/libs/port' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. etc., etc. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pj/wine-git/libs/port' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pj/wine-git/libs/wine' version=`(GIT_DIR=../../.git git describe HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "wine-1.1.34") | sed -n -e '$s/\(.*\)/const char wine_build[] = "\1";/p'` && (echo $version | cmp -s - version.c) || echo $version >version.c || (rm -f version.c && exit 1) make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pjwine-git/libs/wine' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pj/wine-git/libs/wpp' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pj/wine-git/dlls/acledit' ../../tools/mkinstalldirs -m 755 /usr/local/lib/wine mkdir /usr/local/lib/wine mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib/wine': Permission denied make[2]: *** [/usr/local/lib/wine] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pj/wine-git/dlls/acledit' make[1]: *** [acledit/__install__] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pj/wine-git/dlls' make: *** [dlls/__install__] Error 2 Please let me know what I am doing wrongly here. Kind regards
