can't compile Wine 9.58 under Mepis 7 32bit

Hi
I got wine from Sourceforge and extracted it to a folder. In that folder I open a terminal and want to check dependencies .
I get this :

fuz@Fuzzy:~/linux saved/wine-0.9.58$ ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
fuz@Fuzzy:~/linux saved/wine-0.9.58$

I managed to compile 0.9.53 in Mepis 6.5 but that might just have been luck

It is a brand new install of Mepis 7 and I did have to get a few things before I could start so I think I have all the depends but cant use ./configure to find out !

Any ideas ?

You don't have development packages. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages for complete list of what needed to compile Wine.

Ok, wine is supposedly installed, but typing "winecfg" or just 'wine' results in file not found

Is it in your $PATH

In my .wine folder I have the 3 registry files and the 2 folders DosDevices and Drive_C,
should there be more ?

Try
$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak
$ winecfg

I tried searching the entire drive for wine* but couldnt see an executable.

I want to start fresh, anyone know how to uninstall a program that you compiled yourself ?

$ sudo make uninstall # within the source directory
