The version that works with ubuntu should work fine with Mint, otherwise, try getting it from http://winehq.org/

Hey thanks for the reply but i got some errors during the download

Is there a specific version of Wine that works good with Mint?

Mint pretty much is Ubuntu at the core, maybe there is a problem with the Ubuntu repository.
Try adding the official Wine repository and installing it from there.

Copy and paste these commands in a terminal one line at a time:

Code: Select all

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine

Or if you want, you can get the deb here:

Also, you pick the version of wine based off the program you're running, not the OS. If one version runs fine on Mint (all the recent ones do) then the rest will. You should look at the application you're trying to run at www.winehq.org and see which version it runs best in.

Install through synaptic.
Just type wine.
