You need to ask this on the Ubuntu forum. It's a package manager issue, not a Wine issue.

dimensio:

We have provided this time and time again.

The OP has to add a new repository and then use apt-get to install Wine 1.2.

This really needs to be a sticky subject.

It's a pretty standard routine. You need to run ./configure and
then read the top of the Makefile to see what runnning 'make' will
do.

Read the output of ./configure --help to see if any of the custom
flags might apply to your situation. If you run configure with no
custom flags, 'make all install' will install wine in /usr/local
by default.

You may want to pick a different spot to install, like
./configure --prefix=$HOME
to install wine in your home directory (instead of /usr/local) if
you are installing as an ordinary user, for example.

thanks for the replies. i have installed the latest version from the synaptic after going through the version specification in the list. it was a simple 'Mark for installation' and 'Apply'.

however isnt there a sudo apt-get install way of doing this installation? i really dont want to compile/configure and do a simple install of the latest version.

Yes, just install the same package you would have in Synaptic through apt-get install... They both do the same thing anyway, while one is a GUI and the other is commandline.
