Summary: Catch-22 when compiling Wine (./tools/wineinstall)
Product: Wine
Version: 20030813
Platform: PC
OS/Version: other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: wine-loader
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
ReportedBy: michael.watkins at lmco.com
wineinstall will not run as root.
If you run it as a user then during the install wineinstall reports that you
need to 'su root' (after scrolling several write permission errors).
Even if I 'su root' (where my effective uid should still be the user) it
reports that installing wine as root is a bad idea.
I am running Redhat v9, using the 20030813 build of wine.
