I played around with wine some more, and I found that I had problems after all.  Solitaire, WinMine, and mIRC6.0 all ran flawlessly, but winefile (wine's file manager replacement) hung when I tried to view any empty directory.

I looked back at previous posts and found one by Grim which said to load x-window-system and then it would work, but I still had the hanging when I viewed an empty directory.

I tried using ldd to find any libraries I might be missing.  That seemed like a neat trick, and I thought for sure it would work.  I ran this command:

ldd /usr/lib/wine/* | grep -v "not found"

to try to find any libraries I was missing.  The only one that showed up was libGL.so.1 (which I looked on debian.org and found was part of the xlibmesa3 package).  Installing that package didn't help.

Is there a better way to search for dependencies than ldd?  I know that the hanging doesn't happen when I use wine under the knoppix live CD.  And when I say it hangs, it hangs the whole system: no <CTL><ALT><DEL>, no <CTL><ALT><ESC>, no <CTL><ALT><BACKPACE>.  You need to reset the computer.

I have somewhat successfully ran Civilization II under WINE in DSL ..
The sound is scratchy, and the mouse buttons are not real responsive yet.
I think I need to up the priority of this process.. That would help..

I was able to run the NEATO CD label program just fine inder WINE ..

WINE truly wants to work in XF86...

TM, I have played around with freeciv, it's like the old first civilization.
I'm spoiled on Civ II  :-)
