i recieved this error while trying to install from source (20020411):

Performing 'make install' as root to install binaries, enter root password

/bin/bash: - : unrecognized option

Either you entered an incorrect password or we failed to run
'make install' correctly.
If you didn't enter an incorrect password then please report this
error to wine-devel at winehq.com.

Installation failed, aborting.

i know that the site recommends binaries, but they don't seem to function 
properly. i'm running slackware 8 linux.
