We had some gremlins deleting stuff from the appdb,
maybe you got hit.  When was this?

It's this line in the log:

err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by
L"C:\\Program Files\\Image-Line\\FL Studio
7\\Plugins\\Fruity\\Generators\\Wasp\\Wasp_Eng.dll") not found

To fix this, you need to put a copy of MFC42.DLL into
.wine/drive_c/windows/system32.  It should have been
bundled with the FL installer, but they got lazy.
Watch out, it's possible to grab the wrong version of that file.
Safest way to get it is to install the Visual C++ 6 runtime package.
Easiest way to do that is
  $ wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
  $ sh winetricks vcrun6

That might be ok.

NEVER, ever run wine as root!  It's dangerous to run any app as root,
so don't, unless you're *trying* to modify your system and know
it's dangerous.
