Like Thomas said, to use it, you have to open the Terminal app (it's somewhere under the Applications menu, I can't remember where because I haven't used Ubuntu in so long :). But seriously, why are you trying to install Wine 1.0.1? It's very old (over a year and a half), and it's about to be replaced with Wine 1.2. In fact, if you have problems running a program under Wine 1.0, everyone here will tell you it's time to upgrade to the latest Wine 1.2 release candidate. Also, that statement in the Wine 1.0 readme is outdated. The "recommended" way to install Wine from source now is to say these magic incantations (by which I mean, run these commands from Terminal): cd /path/to/wine/sources ./configure make depend make sudo make install Replace '/path/to/wine/sources' with the actual path to the Wine sources. So, if they were in /home/chip/wine-1.2-rc6, you'd 'cd' to /home/chip/wine-1.2-rc6 in that first command. You can omit 'make depend' in the Wine 1.2 RC. To run a command in Terminal, all you do is type it in and press Enter/Return. That's all we'll say about that; if you want more information, there are plenty of good Unix command-line tutorials on the Internet. Remember, Google is your friend. Chip
