Install problem with UBUNTU Gutsy

Post by letter »

Hello everybody.
I try to install Wine on my UBUNTU GUTSY using a terminal. After unpacking
the wine-0.9.60.tar.bz2 package with
tar -jxvf wine-0.9.60.tar.bz2
going to the new created directory and typing:
sudo ./configure
sudo make depend && maked
after running for a while I get the error:

/bin/sh: cannot create version-stamp: Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `version-stamp': Permission denied[/B Thks

Any idea Thks

You don't need to install Wine in this manner on Ubuntu, you'll fid it maong add remove programs, you just have to choose all available application.

DO NOT EVER use root to compile stuff!!! You do not need root powers to compile and run Wine.
Remove the directory you created and start over again, without using 'sudo'.
