I continue my research and find two strange solutions for this error... 1) Modify /usr/bin/install I get coreutils source code, then modify this Code: install.c line 288 x->recursive = true; I don't know what is does as i don't know C, but i find it myself and when i compile and replace /usr/bin/install, wine's sudo make install become works normally. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK and revert your changes as soon as possible. 2) Suddenly I reboot under previous old linux kernel (2.6.35-24-generic) and this error is magically disappears! I now able to install any version which compiles on my system. I have absolutely no idea why kernel changes make difference, but i reproduce this on two machines. Later I also suddenly find (via random internet searching) reply on my post in another place: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.user/74592 But fortunately, when i now able install wine, instead of run it from local folder, i get same results for at least wine-1.0 taken from Ubuntu repos, and wine-1.0 compiled and installed myself, so i can continue my regression tests. P.S. Some more things to compile old wines...
