[Wine] Re: pagefault error

[dbr58]

OK - several of you asked questions and I guess I was a little
confusing in what I said, so let me explain it again so maybe I can get
it straight -

>From the WineHQ web page, I selected the "downloads" page.  This
brought me to the Wine Binary Downloads page.  I selected the Mandriva
rpms (v0.9.16) and downloaded that.  It installed (or at least, I
thought it did) with no problems.  When I tried to run the wineconfig
(either from the terminal window or from the gui), it would open and
seem to accept any of the configuration changes.  But when I closed it,
I received the page fault error that you saw in my original e-mail.

I thought that maybe I had done something wrong, so I uninstalled Wine
and re-installed it.  I even went through and installed a Windows
application using Wine (wine setup.exe from the mnt/dvd directory at
the terminal).  Again, it seemed OK, except for some errors regarding
the graphics, I believe.  The application shows up in the "c:\" drive
from Wine's FileManager, but it says there are files missing even
though they are in the directory with the executable.

When I started checking things, I noticed there was a "config.log" in
the .wine directory.  This is the log file I was referring to in the
earlier e-mail.  As suggested, I tried to install the flex package, but
I could not seem to find the package anywhere so that I could install
it.

I decided that maybe the rpms had an error, so I downloaded the tar.gz.
 I extracted the files with Ark and, from the terminal, ran
~/wine-0.9.16/tools/wineinstall.  It asked it I wanted it to remove the
existing Wine RPM.  I said "yes", entered the Root password.  This is
what I saw after it removed the old RPM:

Running configure...

configure: creating cache config.cache
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Hope that gives you a little more information.  Now what?? LOL!  Thanks
for the help.
