Hi

Thanks for the reply. This was what I initially did but apparently wine does not run on x64 that well so additional things are needed. The wine installed via Yast or smart does not run correctly. I can start winecfg, winefile and other wine apps via konsole but not install things and they are not included on the program menu or in the file browser (konqueror).

The winecfg also forgets mounted drives when installed via yast or smart. This is why I checked the installation info linked from winehq.
I have now realized that the ./config was something that should be written in the location of an expanded tar file (this could have been explained more in detail, possibly linked to a help section about "make"). Currently running the installation and crossing my fingers...
