See the wiki for what you need to compile wine:
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit

I think you are missing gcc-multilib, but you better check the wiki if you have everything. Having a wine version without support for fonts is lame ;-)[/url]

what is saying no "package"? and in response to what action of yourself?

did you install everything that was listed in the wiki? especially libc6-dev-i386?

If your distribution isn't listed on the wiki, you'll have to improvise. The closest distribution listed is Fedora (9?) - see if the packages listed there exist. If some don't try to find replacement packages.
