openSUSE Forums - View Single Post - "./configure"? - Question About Wine Installation Opensuse 1

I tried the tar file installation and that too had problems.
...so now I installed the kernel-source package (I had not done that before - i did not think that was a requirement) and checked the 32-bit libs.

I re-installed wine via Yats (usually I use Smart because Yats takes a long time scanning the rpm databases)

I still had the same problems as before - wine does not appear on the program menu and is not an option when files are supposed to be executed via Konqueror. winecfg can be started via Konsole and then give these errors:

I am really confused... wine installed very nicely on x64 versions of both Fedora and Kubuntu.

The last error in the list is when I try to change the drive within the winecfg window... so I can start graphical windows from wine - just that they do not work as they should.

When I try to run winecfg as root I get this error instead:
