I forgot to say more.
The reason this is the way it should be... there are in fact people who use Linux to just get things done and not to dick around with some source code.
People like me.

But you said you didn't want any dependencies. The only way to avoid that is to package everything the application needs with the application.
And there's no reason he couldn't have installed wine binaries from an RPM or similar package, either he just chose to install from source or no packages have been produced.

What made you think you can't do that in linux?
It's actually even more easy, you only need to click on a name(no drag-and-drop needed). ;)
hm_murdock:
what makes me think that? the fact that I've never had it work.
and no, using the installer is NOT better, because you cannot choose where to put it, because it has to go in one of the pre-determined folders.
