The ALSA volume control err has disappeared since I did a recompile for wine 3.1.7 with the latest fixes from the Linux distribution. Also, the game now runs without crashes to the desktop, at least it did for two hours after I recompiled with the new libraries. Whatever everyone has been doing, is good. Apparently the ia32 libraries on UBUNTU 10.10 are now up to snuff. I guess the next forty miles in getting all of SimCity 4 and its auxiliary programs working is now to tackle gmax so I can get the Building Architect Tool to work as well. Ah! Life is an never ending story of challenges seeking solutions.
