cannot configure wine

Post by Trevorofmolino »

after doing ./configure
make depend
make
#make install
I tried to configure with /usr/local/bin/winecfg
and got the following

Try removing ~/.wine directory. Also when you running "configure" don't forget to use --verbose to check for any missing dependencies.
