Trying to startup Wine

[Larry Alkoff]

I have downloaded the source (wine-20011004), 
compiled and installed with ~/wine-20011004/tools/install.sh
and am attempting to start running it.


My first try, as suggested in the docs, is /windows/sol.exe
from a terminal in KDE
and the error message I get is:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I compiled and installed as root - that may have been a mistake.
However, I have a /root/.wine subdirectory with config and some other files.

I think some obvious step is missing but cannot think of what after reading
the various docs several times.

My ultimate goal (besides sol.exe!) is to run my dos programs, agent and
pmmail.

Can you hep me?
