Specs:
FreeBSD 4.4
XFree86 4.1.0
my compiler is gcc
Me =3D=3D Newbie

Here's the probem:
Most of the time when i try to build sofware not from the BSD ports =
installed during setup (on HDD) they won't build.

Software Tried:

GIMP -- installed fine

Wine -- won't build.  I get different errors each time=20
Examples:
1)"do not know how to make _INSTALL_/libavifile.so"
2)error 2: i forget where
3)"/usr/libexec/elf/ld: exception.o invalid string offset 1 >=3D 0 for
section`'
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: exception.o invalid string offset 9 >=3D 0 for
section`'
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: exception.o invalid string offset 1 >=3D 0 for
section`'"
The Checksums are OK.  I dl's versions 20011108 and 20011104 from
winehq.org and 20011108 from freeBSD.org.

mtools -- won't build, err. code 1 can't remember specifics. deleted
source.
I have tried to dl binaries, but i can't figure out what top do to
install them.  If they don't have a shell script what do i use to
install.
For example the mtools binary contains:
+COMMENT - short description
+CONTENTS - file list
+DESC - info on commands after install
+MTREE_DIRS - directory layout of install files
bin dir w/ programs i can't run from K or a termanal
etc, info(manual says nothing about installation), and man dirs

What do i need to find to install the binaries.  Wine binaries have
similar stuff.
