Hi folks,

I installed wine on to my HD install of DSL, but when I try to run wine it complains about not finding xmessage or gmessage. I tried Synaptic but neither one is listed, so I tried apt-get on both and they failed too. Apt-get install xmessage returns: E: Could not find package xmessage.
apt-get install gmessage returns: E: package gmessage has no installation candidate.
So I downloaded the tar.gz gmessage file from Tucows and unzipped it, untarred it and ran `./configure` as per the INSTALL instructions. That failed because it could not find a c compiler. So installed gcc. That had a problem because of something in vmlinux.lds but I cannot even find that file on my machine.
Has anyone been able to get wine to work on dsl?

Thanks!

I think I finally answered my own question. Wine probably won't work under DSL because DSL doesn't use the X that wine expects. So even if I could solve all of the compiler and xmessage/gmessage issues it would be a dead end. Thanks.
