Hi Colin,
In particular, I am unfamiliar with the 'configure' executable described in your installation manual.
This script is produced by autoconf. It's the way many (most?) packages are built these days.
I'm afraid I can't provide very direct assistance, but your configure log indicates something pretty basic is screwed up:
configure:2404: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:2431: gcc conftest.c >&5 /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt1.o collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
It reports the failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "Wine" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "wine" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.9.37" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "Wine 0.9.37" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "wine-devel@winehq.org" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main () | { | | ; | return 0; | }
This is as basic a program as it gets.
So, try creating a similarly empty .c file by hand, and compiling it yourself. If you get a similar error, figure out what's wrong with your compiler installation, and fix that. If you don't, I don't know what to tell you.
Good luck, --Juan
