Ah, I think I found the problem when looking at the other page. You could try to remove your wineprefix and try with a clean one, because apparently something went wrong with creating the last one. This is what I usually do: cd ~ cp -r .wine .wine-old #to backup your wine directory rm -rf .wine #to remove it wineboot And to install gecko, because the automatic installer is broken: rm winetricks wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks sh winetricks gecko
