You will get much more problems by doing this. If you will not try to run *anything* as root first without good reasons you will not have permission problems. This is as simple as that. By trying "all new software" as root you are creating a lot of permission problems for yourself, and this is also very insecure. Don't do this (and correct permissions you already messed up by doing this), and you will not have such problems anymore. > the out put for " wine version " is the almost the same as " wine setup " > just longer "wine version" is wrong command. Try this (just copy & paste): wine --version You should get something like this as an output: wine-0.9.58
