I found a similar problem posted here http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=43177&sid=55ecdb5e567348cdd47fe046cc45a1f2 He used wine 1.1.x and I'm using 1.3.24 He uses f 12-x86_64 and I'm using f 15-x86_64 He mentions that his install has in the home directory a .wine/ and a .wine-x86_64/ I only have a .wine/ He mentions that he has only installed SketchUp for wine and so have I. He mentioned that he edited winetricks to change $WINE to $WINE32 Winetricks is a large complex script to me and I am a little intimidated changing it without some direction/confirmation. So I'm not sure what differences there would be. When I Code: env WINEPREFIX="/home/dgw/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp.exe" I get the same terminal error output posted above. Any suggestions? Dave.
