I thought so.  No problem--I'll take care of it when I solve this.

Umm. no.  Not explicitly, but I noticed that it's the last thing
called during the 'make install'.  When I run it (as root, of course)
it returns no errors, leading me to believe all is okay.

However, I'm still getting the libntdll error.

Let's assume that I know nothing and I've read the wine web page
enough to download a cvs image.

After I update my directory, it's a matter of
autoconf
./configure
make depend
make
make install.

Is there anything missing in that sequence of steps?  Afterwards, I
should be able to type 'wine ...' and be on my way, right?

Also interesting, but every so slightly possibly could be related is
that even though I'm using the Dec 3 cvs update, (for the rpm that I
can get to run) when I type wine --version, it gives me 200011108,
which was the original wine package I had installed.  Even though I
removed it (rpm -e) something from it appears to be remaining.
