I run Mac OS X 10.6.5. There are a bunch of Windows programs I would very much like to run, and my latest OS update broke my copy of CrossOver Games, so I decided to get Wine. None of the ten binary download packages on the download page said Mac anywhere on them, so I decided I would have to download the source code and run from the command line. I don't like this, since I'm not extremely tech savvy; I don't know half of what I can probably do from the command line. The readme file says: > Whenever you compile from source, it is recommended to use the Wine > Installer to build and install Wine. From the top-level directory > of the Wine source (which contains this file), run: > > ./tools/wineinstall So I type: > cd /Users/hill/Desktop/Warehouse/wine-1.2.2 This works (I confirm it with an ls call). Then this exchange occurs: > Macintosh-265:wine-1.2.2 hill$ ./tools/wineinstall > Wine Installer v1.0 > > You are running wineinstall as root, this is not advisable. Please rerun as a user. > Aborting. I did exactly as I was told and I hit a wall! I have no idea what to do at this point. I used Google to look for the error message I got, but couldn't make heads or tails of any of the results. Any assistance would be highly appreciated... I have hardly any idea what I'm doing.
