I have been building from source for over 2 years without any problems.
I compile cvs and test a few of my 16 bit applications every few days to 
look for regressions and to see if any of the bugs I have filed are fixed.

The ./tools/wineinstall script sets the defaults as follows:

CONFARGS=""        # configure args, e.g. --prefix=/usr
prefix=/usr/local  # installation prefix
bindir=$prefix/bin # where winelib apps will be (or are) installed
libdir=$prefix/lib # where libwine.so will be (or is) installed
BINDIST=no         # whether called from a binary package config script

Using
./configure && make depends && make
su make install

did not work but ./tools/wineinstall works on my new system but not on 
my original system.

This may be a clue and as to my problem on the original system when wine 
in uninstalled.

bash-3.00$ which wine
which: no wine in 
(/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/games)
bash-3.00$ which wineprefixcreate
which: no wineprefixcreate in 
(/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/games)
bash-3.00$ wineprefixcreate
bash: /usr/local/bin/wineprefixcreate: No such file or directory

It seems that a files in the bin directory are remember even when they 
don't exist.
