Btw, I wouldn't bother with Wine at your level of experience anyway. It takes some time to set up, results tend to be unrewarding and it really distracts from the most obvious task at hand: Finding real (read: Linux native) replacements for your Windows software. Wine's nice to get that one tool to run which just doesen't seem to have a Linux equivalent in a million years. (Strangely enough, Avidemux became very usable by the time I got VirtualDubMod running with Wine).

Anyway, I'd really move Wine way down on your to-do list.

Well I no longer get that error after switching it from binary to source. But compiling this thing is a pain in the ass. Running "apt-get --build source wine" ends with this error:

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [config.status] Error 77
Build command 'cd wine-0.9.15~winehq0~ubuntu~6.06 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed.
E: Child process failed

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Um, no offense but are you trying to do everything extra complicated?

Just make sure that one line of the file /etc/apt/sources.list says

Code:

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main

then type

Code:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install wine

into the command line or press "Update" in Synaptic and then look up the program with CTRL+F.

Edit:
Forget about that, just remembered that Wine is x86 architecture only.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So in order for it to work, I would need to install the x86 version of ubuntu?
That kinda shoots down trying to run stuff on a 64bit os but I was thinking that it would be backwards compatible with x86. But if it isn't...then that probably explains why the linux version emulators are not working either.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
