Small question regarding WINE installation

Hi. I recently installed WINE 1.0 rc2 from source but I cannot run it from command line, instead I have to change the directory to '/usr/local/bin'. How do I make the terminal recognize the commands? Is there any way I can link them to a directory where the terminal reads ('/bin'?).

Thanks (and sorry for all the questions).

Re: Small question regarding WINE installation

It's enough to add '/usr/local/bin' to your PATH environment variable. That's usually done in either ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc.

When you install stuff manually (./configure, make, make install), /usr/local is a good place for it, since arch itself doesn't install anything there, so it doesn't clash.

By the way, someone builds new wine packages and uploads them somewhere http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46059

Re: Small question regarding WINE installation

When building new versions of a package that already exists in a repository, try using AUR and versionpkg. That way, it will be installed in the regular place.

Also, it will be handled by pacman (removing/updating).
