[Wine] Re: pagefault error

[Paul Romanyszyn]

I use mandriva 2006 compile from git.
Mandriva does not install all the tools you need by default. If fact you 
have to use easyurmpmi site to add additional rpm's sources.
See in line and at the end for more info.

This is a bad RPM build I think.

In source tree a readme exists an contains some useful info and a list 
of things you need to have install to build it on your machine.

I think configure is now up to date and flags missing things.

Visit http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and add some more sources per instructions.

 From a root console you can a line like urmpi gcc and it will find and 
load a complier.
You can also use the configure your computer GUI to install the needed RPM's
You may have to compile from source fontforge as you need a version from 
2006 for fonts to work.
Also the current HAL (hardware abstraction layer) version used to detect 
hardware is old and configure does not detect it. I did to use MDE 
(Mandrake KDE) RPMs upgrade KDE which has a newer HAL but it almost 
broke my system.

Hope that Helps
