based on Aake's ideas, I wrote this script. It installs 32-bit and 64-bit wine on Ubuntu 10.10. Rybka 4.exe and the other 64-bit engines I've tested have all worked. automated compile of 64/32 bit wine for Ubuntu 10.10: http://www.jesseo.com/chess/64-bit-wine-ubuntu.sh perhaps someone could tell me how I turn this script into a deb file.
