I have a Dell Laptop running Fedora 7. I bought this from "Emperor Linux" who configured the machine and shipped it to me ready-to-go. I had successfully installed a few minor Windows applications and had them running under WINE. Since I began using Linux a few years ago, I have adopted the posture of doing periodic updates with yum. Awhile ago, one such yum update installed WINE 0.9.54 and everything stopped working then. By now I am up to WINE 0.9.56, but no WINE application runs. Can someone help me troubleshoot this and see if I can figure out what went wrong? When I try to open anything in WINE from a console, I get a long string of error messages, but I don't know where to go with this. Here is an example -- I think the errors are the same for any application, but I can't say for sure.
