tools/wineinstall problem

Hello, I've just subscribed to this list, therefore, if this problem
has been adressed before, my sincere apologies. I write to this list
because googling did not give a definite resolution to my problem
I downloaded and compiled winex cvs (2004-10-21) using the
/tools/wineinstall script. All went well until the end when it asked
You are running as root.  Do you want a local config file,
file, ~/.wine/config, created?
(yes/no) yes

Windows was not found on your system, so I assume you want
a Wine-only installation. Am I correct?
(yes/no) yes

onfiguring Wine without Windows.
Some fake Windows directories must be created, to hold any .ini files, DLLs,
start menu entries, and other things your applications may need to install.
Where would you like your fake C drive to be placed?
(default is /c)
Configuring Wine for a no-windows install in /c...

Created /root/.wine/config using default Wine configuration.
You probably want to review the file, though.
Preparing to install default Wine registry entries...
Installing default Wine registry entries...

wine: chdir to /root/.wine/wineserver-lfs : No such file or directory
Registry install failed.

I read somewhere that this error could be glibc related, therefore i
recompiled wine using --enable-nptl flag, but nothing changed.  I'm
running glibc cvs of 2004-08-28, gcc-3.4.2 and kernel 2.9. Any insight
would be appreciated
