Here's my next problem: In comp.unix.freebsd.announce, I discovered about Wine960728, the Windows Emulator. So I decided to try it. README instructions said I must load Xpm, which I am now struggling with (LibXpm4.7). It comes with an Imakefile, and can be installed with xmkmf -a. That part works without any problems. But then I do make install, and I get "don't know how to make ../X11/xpm.h" while make is trying to make "all in ./lib". As a result (I think), wine won't build properly. The path to my xpm is /usr/local/xpm-3.4g and to wine is /usr/local/wine960728 I have a standard XFree86 3.1.2 installation (minimum requirement only plus X312prog.tgz - which I needed to get an imake.conf). My FreeBSD version is 2.1.5R (also minimum - only the binaries and documentation - but it is absolutely standard) It seems rather obvious that something must be wrong with the generated Makefile, but I haven't figured out how the macros work yet, so I can't work out what its trying to do. I would be grateful if anyone who has successfully loaded Wine would be willing to help me get started. Thanks ... ac
