Problems with installing Wine

[Maria I. Tchalakova]

Hi,

I have problems installing wine. I am using Slackware 12.0, and I've
downloaded the slackware wine package wine-1.1.20-i486-1kjz.tgz from
here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... ge_id=6301

When I unpack it, I get two folders: usr/ and install/. In install/ I
have a script doinst.sh. When I run, I get:

sh ./doinst.sh

./doinst.sh: line 1: cd: usr/lib: No such file or directory
./doinst.sh: line 2: cd: usr/lib: No such file or directory

I get this, because truly I don't have such directories. However, in
the usr/ folder I don't have any 'wineinstall' or make files as it is
described in the README file (there is also no ./tools/wineinstall and
such a file anywhere). The README is in /wine/usr/doc/wine-1.1.20.
I suppose I don't have to copy and paste files, and change the folder
structures. What is the problem and what should I do?
(I have also downloaded and tried installing wine-1.1.19, but I got
the same obstacles).
Thank you.

Slackware packages are installed via installpkg, i.e.
what you have to do is:
installpkg wine-1.1.20-i486-1kjz.tgz
as root
