Shouldn't be that bad (compiling from source). The build-dep thing makes it a lot easier. Wish I knew about it earlier: "sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3". Gets all the dependencies for you. Also, you have the fourh step of "make depend" before "make". Also, shouldn't a wine tarball script be fixed to say to do "make depend" next, rather than suggestig the user to rush right into "make"? Never tried it without "make depend", maybe it doesn't need it. Any experts on the matter? Cheers, Jake
