I've searched for everything on my system pertaining to Wine and deleted it, including all of my config files (which worked fine before) and reintsalled the RPM to no avail.  Other apps, like notepad, will run just fine, and I can install progs that don't use the InstallShield, like WinMX, but anything that uses the InstallShield is doomed to hang.

The current wine RPMS are already complied with the correct options for the RedHat kernel.  Plus I don't think that the problem that I'm having is the same issue that is caused by incorrect compiling arguements.  

Just to try it, tho, I removed the RPM and compiled from source using the '--with-nptl' option on the configure script.  The end result was the same: the InstallShiled hangs every time.  

Also, because someone suggested that I try it without the '--with-nptl' option, I tried that, but when I try to run wine all I get is a Seg. fault.
