OK, I did the following. I used package installer to install wine and so I used it to uninstall wine. But ~/.wine and all the associated sub-directories were still there and the SketchUp icon was still on the desktop, so I deleted ~/.wine rebooted and now no wine. $rpm -qa | grep wine no list provided, so I presume it was removed. I used the package installer to re-install wine 1.3.24 I launched $wine GoogleSketchUpWEN for the directory it was in. I went through several install windows and finally finish. $cd to ~/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files (x86)/Google/GoogleSketchUp 8" $wine SketchUp I went through several install windows to the SketchUp welcome screen. I unchecked the "Always show on Start up" box and clicked to continue after selecting the template (default). I got a flash of white and then it crashed. I tried again and the error codes are below.

The "flash of white" behaviour happened on the last install also, but the error codes are different. I do have the wine-1.3.29.tar.bz2 downloaded and will need to review how to install that if it is something I need to try. (I didn't because many times there is caution to use the package installer with the particular distribution.) Still trying, Dave.
