(eager to get Wine working properly alongside my pressing concern to be a dungeon keeper) It's easier to get the prepackaged binary version. You can get the latest version using wine PPA (see http://www.winehq.org/download/deb), and installing "wine1.2" package (you might have to uninstall the "wine" package beforehand). If you already use the PPA, don't forget to do a "Reload" in Synaptic to get the newest packages (or "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal). Frédéric
