[Wine] 1.1.31 checkinstall fails @ lzexpand.dll16/__install__

[K4Z00]

Trying to compile 1.1.31 on an Asus Eee, under the default Xandros/etch install.
./tools/wineinstall runs fine etc then proceed to run checkinstall, which errors with 
Code:

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.



Have tried this with checkinstall versions 1.6.1, and 1.6.0, which both error the same. Tried using sudo checkinstall -D --fstrans=no --install=yes, having done a little googling.

Last compiled 1.1.21, which worked fine using checkinstall 1.6.1. Would appreciate any help or suggestions to overcome this. :D
