Lawson,
Thanks once again.

Yep, still running RedHat 5.2.

You are correct again. Previously I got an error message that led me to
believe gcc was the problem. I just tried it again and made it through
the 'configure'. I don't know what I loaded to make it work, but I'll
take whatever I can get.

Ok, I loaded XFree86-devel off my cheapbytes CD. Did the Wine
'configure', lottsa stuff scrolled by and ended with:
*** Warning: X development files not found. Wine will be built without
*** X support, which currently does not work, and would probably not be
*** what you want anyway. You will need to install devel packages of
*** Xlib/Xfree86 and Xpm at the very least.
Configure finished. Do 'make depend && make' to compile Wine.
I do that and get "bash: make: command not found"
I loaded the XFree86-devel and xpm-devel. Why can't it find them? What
am I doing wrong, or not understanding this time?

When I loaded gcc I got a bunch of gcc.info files (gcc.info, &
gcc.info-1 thru 25)

I still never found the 'configure' file, fortunately it looks like I
don't need it anymore.
Thanks again.
