need help installing wine...Please!

[Neal Hamilton Jr.]

System: 1800+ athlon
OS: Redhat 8.0

I downloaded the latest tar.gz file from the homepage "wine-20021125" 
un-tared it via tar -zxvf  Wine-20021125.tar.gz.... then cd to 
wine-20021125. From the latter directory I try to run the 
./tools/wineinstall "as a user" and get this error:

[JoKeR at WhItEWidoW wine-20021125]$ ./tools/wineinstall
/bin/bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
WINE Installer v0.74

Running configure...

./configure: line 85: conftest.sh: No such file or directory
./configure: line 86: conftest.sh: No such file or directory
chmod: failed to get attributes of `conftest.sh': No such file or directory
./configure: line 198: conf907.file: No such file or directory
./configure: line 945: config.log: No such file or directory

Configure failed, aborting install.

ok so i edit the wineinstall script...

I changed the whoami == 'root' to admin so the script would not bomb out 
when it saw it was running from root.


startup...

echo "WINE Installer v0.74"
echo

if [ "$BINDIST" = 'no' ]
then {

 if ! [ -f configure ]
 then {
   if [ -f ../configure ]
   then {
     pushd ..
   }
   else {
     echo "You're running this from the wrong directory."
     echo "Change to the Wine source's main directory and try again."
     exit 1
   }
   fi
 }
 fi      
 if [ `whoami` == 'admin' ]   then {
   echo "You are running wineinstall as root, this is not advisable. 
Please rerun as a user."
   echo "Aborting."
   exit 1



This got me future then running as a user ,"which would not run at 
all",  but stills has problems. When i run wineinstall now it starts 
doing its magic but stops with this error.

Preparing to install default Wine registry entries...
Installing default Wine registry entries...

./tools/wineinstall: line 616: programs/regedit/regedit: No such file or

Registry install failed.

./tools/wineinstall as a regular user per the Readme and have tried 
installing as root.

Thanks for any help on this as i greatly appreciate it.
