But since it's not a windows dll, but provided by some app, I really doubt it will help. > Also, I'd rather not have wine globally on root, as the other thread describes. Can I just drop the patched executable (I assume that's what the first make will produce) into my local .wine? No. It would create a dll.so file. You could try just making an empty file named authz.dll and put it in your ~/.wine, that may help. But if the app actually uses it, it'll fail. You need to get it however the app expects (probably depends on a database program installation? -- -Austin
