Wine install

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Why not use RPMS or SRPMS?   There is a wine release that is updated often 
for Caldera at http://www.lst.de/%7Emm/wine.html.

That said, once you untar them you will find a directory called 
winesomething which is the top directory of the package.  Look at the 
readme and INSTALL files in this and they will tell you what to do.  
Normally it's 

./configure
make
make install

but always read the README and INSTALL and other pertinant docs first.
