wine install without sudo

[veeseekay]

Hi Folks,

am fairly new to wine and linux. I do not have sudo permissions on my box.
would like to know if there is some other way of installing wine ?(probably a zip distribution that would just require me to untar/unzip) or a hack?

Please help.

thanks!

Wine does not have to be installed to run. Build it from source, and run it from the build directory as a normal user.

You could compile it and install it in an area where you have write
access, if you have all the dependencies.

I think Crossover can be installed for a single user without sudo, so if you don't have the needed dependencies or don't want to attempt to build Wine yourself, you might want to try that.

Are you using Ubuntu and did you set it up your self ?
If so try "sudo gedit" type in your login password, if that works you can use sudo.
