Wine installation

[TheMHC]

I am using slackware linux and i just download wine and tried to install it using the suggested ./tools/wineinstall
i get
------------------------------------------------
bash-2.05a$ ./tools/wineinstall
WINE Installer v0.73

Running configure...

./configure: conftest.sh: Permission denied
./configure: conftest.sh: Permission denied
chmod: getting attributes of `conftest.sh': No such file or directory
./configure: conf3824.file: Permission denied
./configure: config.log: Permission denied

Configure failed, aborting install.
bash-2.05a$

-----------------------------------------
how do i give the account enough permission..it wont let you install wine as root

[Palin]

chmod 744 <filename>
chmod -R 744 <directory>
these you will probably need to run as root.

well i got it to work... i found out that when i un tred it in my user directory it worked...before i had untared it as root then copied it to my user directory
