I downloaded the latest and greatest source, so I have:

Hmm - this is the first time I've tried wine --version; I don't
understand that glibc thing: I'm running Slackware 11.0;

No need to compile it. Go to www.linuxpackages.net where you will find a
Slack pack for wine for slackware. This link should get you straight
there.

http://www.linuxpackages.net/search_view.php?by=name&name=wine&ver=11.0

OK, so I've done that, and I get:

So do I need a different library or something?

Thanks,

Very interesting. I installed switcherCAD using an earlier version of wine
and have only just upgraded to the version I told you about. I don't
normally run it from the command line but I just tried it and I get the
same initial glibc message you did but then it runs OK. Clearly the
installer will not run at all now from your own tests. I need to look into
this further.

Right, checking on linuxpackages.net reveals that this version of wine is
meant for 2.6 kernels and the error occurs if you run with a 2.4 kernel. So
you could upgrade to a 2.6 kernel or roll back wine far enough to be 2.4
kernel compatible. I run 2.4 kernel so I have to make this decision too.Not
sure which way to go yet.
