Problems With Starcraft

[Robert Strube]

Well heres the story.. I decided to install the newest version of wine (20010326
I believe) I am running wine on a linux partition, and have configured
everything according to the various HOWTOS and FAQ's and other pieces of
Documentation I have read. Starcraft & Starcraft Broodwar installed with no
incident whatsoever. There is one problem however, when I try and install the
patch to upgrade to version 1.07 - it gives me a sharing violation error. The
patch program actually starts up (in a windows environment)- but it says it
can't gain the proper permisions on Starcraft.exe. I am running this patch
program as root, and just to be insanely sure that permissions are not an issue,
I have set them to 777 for my entire emulated C:\ drive. As an aside I must
mention that the older pre-compiled version of wine that came with my
distrobution (SuSE 7.1) works perfectly fine. I think it may  be a compilation
problem, is there a flag that needs to be set to allow the patching of programs?
I have compiled it multiple times.. as root, as a user, using
/tools/wineinstall, using make [x], but it always gives me an error when i try
to patch. I have spent too much time on this but I was hoping someone could
offer some advice. Thanks very much.
