May I jump in here? I'm at a similar point in trying to install Wine.
(I tried to solve this on my own, I really did. Honest. :o) But I'm
stuck)

Before I can compile Wine, I need to install gcc.
I think I now have loaded everything that Lawson lists above, plus what
the Wine readme and the gcc-info files call for. I didn't load/upgrade
any XFree86 stuff for fear doing so might overwrite my configs., etc.
Is that a valid concern?
The gcc-info file refers to a 'configure' file for installing gcc. I
can't find that file. Where should it be? Where can I get it?
Thanks.
