installing 5.8 Lunix lite stops...

[Ren]

Well,
I do have a rather a big problem about my programming...
Well I use Pelles 'C to program in C using Linux Lite since
a long time (it started with lite 3.8)... and so going away
from Windows as Pelles' C is a windows program... 
It when well for years and years... but last week I had
to reinstall my computer and the 5.8 I did used the last
years (and was doing it's job very well) had to be renewed
again as the rest of my software... starting the 5.8 lite again
was a disaster as it does install anymore... it stops somewhere
in the second half of the install... ok... then going to lite 6.6...
why not ??? But 6.6 doesn't work with wine anymore... ok 
one can run a program but in a very bad way... Q4wine
doesn't work... the wine program screen shows no wine
programs and whatever... 6.6 isn't Ubuntu anymore but 
some strange other program that makes it impossible
to turn into the normal programming system... did try
a lot of programs for the last two weeks while 5.8 did
install wine in a few seconds... sad... sad... I have to go
to windows again... I left it 15 years ago... Well...
