Hi,
Had some issues with my ns7 lately, so I decided I'd try to solve them
before I answer, but right now I'm rather lost:
With my install as previously described, ns has been working poorly; copy
to the clipboard was impossible, the only place where it worked was in
wine's notepad, where things were copied ok, but I never could see them; I
had to save the file and then open it with some true app (less, emacs,
anything...) to see its content. I decided I could not work with such a
setup... 
I tried several wine versions, none really working to install ns7, using
sidenet; I tried using winetools, with no results to now. I read it works
really well with wine 20041019 but cannot install this version, either
from the gentoo ebuild or with its own installer. Here's what I get (with portage):

In file included from /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h:48,
                 from alsa.h:23,
                 from audio_05.c:49:
/usr/include/alsa/conf.h:189: error: erreur de syntaxe before "struct"

thanks for any help,
