I'm trying to install wine 1.1.5, but i am stuck now i downloaded the .tar.bz2 file and i used tar xvjf wine-1.1.5.tar.bz2. The readme file says i have to then type ./tools/wineinstall, but when i do that an error pops up.
Wine Installer v1.0
Warning !! wine binary (still) found, which may indicate
a (conflicting) previous installation.
You might want to abort and uninstall Wine first.
(If you previously tried to install from source manually,
run 'make uninstall' from the wine root directory)

See `config.log' for more details.
Configure failed, aborting install.
is there anyone who can tell me what to do to make it work? i've got the config.log file for if you need more details.
btw.. this error also pops up when i have my older wine version uninstalled.

First do what it says - remove currently installed Wine. You will have all sorts of problems if you have multiple versions installed.
You don't say what OS / distribution you are trying to install on.
You are trying to install from source. Is that what you mean to do ? No offence, but it sounds like you probably don't want to.
Have you installed Wine before ? How ? That's the key to removing it. No ? Was it installed automagically when you installed your OS / distribution ?
Go back to Wine HQ home page. Follow the Get Wine Now link. If your OS / distribution is listed there then you probably ought to install the relevant Wine binary package.
i downloaded the .tar.bz2 file and i used tar xvjf wine-1.1.5.tar.bz2. The readme file says i have to then type ./tools/wineinstall, but when i do that an error pops up.
