attempt to install Wine from source

Sun Feb 3 23:30:58 CST 2008

Dear Sir;
This below is the config.log I got from trying to install Wine (a source 
archive from a British Linux mag) on to my AMD64 m/c under Debian 4.0. 
64 bit OS.
A similar message was obtained from an attempt to install Wine on my 
AMD64 laptop under Ubuntu 7.04. (not 64 bit).
 From the report log I can't identify just what went wrong.
My aim is to use Wine to run Windows XP applications on both machines, 
and if possible Windows Vista applic'ns on the laptop - both machines 
running 32 bit applic'ns. My first priority for this is MS Excel XP pro.

 From a brief visit to WineHQ today (the connection died for some 
unknown reason) I believe it may not be as straightforward a project as 
I had hoped. Please tell me either what I must do to load/install my 
Wine source package, or where I have to go for help to go a little further.
I prefer to load the sources I already have, plus supplementary 
programs, if that's possible.
Any advice you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks;
Mike Harrison
