Do you mean as follows? > $env WINEPREFIX="/home/dgw/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\" > $sketchup.exe He probably meant to change to the program directory first (line 1), then run the program from its "home" directory, like cd /path/to/your/wineprefix/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(X86\)/Google/Google\ Sketchup\ 8\ env WINEPREFIX="/path/to/your/wineprefix" wine sketchup.exe As already mentioned, $HOME/.wine is the default wineprefix so doesn't need to be specified every time.
