Hi Detlef,

Thanks for reply.
My problem is myapp.exe use some GNOME dlls (created by xmingw) which
is located at /opt/xmingw/i686-mingw32/bin.
The following appraoch doesn't work:
PATH=/opt/xmingw/i686-mingw32/bin:$PATH wine /abs_path/myapp.exe

But this works OK:
(cd /opt/xmingw/i686-mingw32/bin; wine /abs_path/myapp.exe)

I know I can copy all required dlls to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
and this approach does work fine too.  But GNOME does has a lot of
DLL ... I really don't want to copy all of them to system32.

I were expected seting PATH=$GNOME_LIBDIR should solve my problem,
but looks like wine just doesn't search PATH for DLL ... this is not what
Documentation said.

Is this a bug ? Or I just mis-understand something.   Thanks

Regards
KC
