unfortunately, i don't think we have any linux gurus (i hope i'm wrong, and i hope your question gets answered right after i post)

but i think it's a safe bet you will get your question answered better, and probably more quickly at The Just Linux Forums.

EDIT:

if you do get it working, post links to how you did here...i'm curious lol. i've wanted to get it working ever since i started messing around with mandrake, and i know of a few others that will probably want to know as well.

i'd also be interested in finding out how, the only p2p apps. i have been able to install on mandrake have been eDonkey and gtk-gnutella.

I'm not sure what the exact error is, but provided that bison installed correctly, it seems that the path to it can't be found.


Maybe you could try the Mandrake 9.1 specific rpm's
different distros have varying paths for install destinations.
Be sure to uninstall the previous version if you decide to go with the new one.

well i dont consider myself a Linux guru but i've learned a great deal in the past few weeks that i've been using it...to answer the question above:

i recommend getting a wine tarball and compiling it yourself since you will have control of what goes where plus you will know 100% that it will run on your system (pretty easy too: ./configure, make, su, make install)...make sure you read the docs at the wine site and in whatever files you download (which is one reason i dont recommend the RPMs)...
