However, Wine 1.2 and Wine ARE dependent on other packages being installed and the correct versions. Since that is outside the scope of this project, it is best to browse the Ubuntu forums for suggestions on how to install these packages. Now onto what seems to be your complaint: Using the Development version. The development version, with very few exceptions, is actually better than the so-called stable version. There have been 38 releases of the development version (about one every two weeks) since the stable version was released. Version 1.0.1 is basically abandonware now. If you encounter a problem with it, the group here will reply with "Install the current development version and then tell us what happens". If the stable version works, then you are welcome to use it, for now. If it is broken, it is not going to be fixed. Now for the final answer: Wine 1.2 and Wine will NOT build on your system if you try to build 64-bit versions. This bitness is NOT ready and there is work being done on making it work, but this is slow and is going to take some time. Thus you have to build the 32 bit (i386) version and all of the 32 bit dependencies to install Wine. Thank you. James Mckenzie
