WINEPREFIX is NOT where Wine is installed but where Wine will create it's fake "windows" configuration.

I assumed he wanted to use separate sets of settings for different Wine versions. (Why install an full Wine instance in a hidden directory? - This seemed to be what he managed by setting the compile-time prefix, but what I guess the intention to be is: Run Wine 1.3.6 without messing up the configuration for Wine 1.2.2 (which Wine 1.3.6 will do when it upgrades the ~/.wine wineprefix if WINEPREFIX is not set)) I usually find that the most reliable way of running multiple Wine versions is just to use the full path of the wine executable before all commands. (e.g. ~/wine-git/wine winecfg; /usr/bin/wine winecfg, etc - it won't work for winetricks though, which is where WINE comes in handy) Gert
