[Wine] TradeStation under Wine - install failure

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I haven't attempted to use Wine in at least a couple of years so
I'm VERY out of date with how to really set it up and install an
application. However I'm using TradeStation on Windows Vista and not
enjoying Vista at all so I'm motivated to at least see if TS would
work under Wine. My initial attempts didn't go so well so I'm checking
in to see what the real users say is the right way to get started.

1) I'm using Gentoo on an AMD64 machine. I've emerged Wine with the
following flags. Wine seemed happy with the install.

lightning ~ # emerge -pv wine

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-emulation/wine-0.9.53  USE="X alsa cups gecko jack
jpeg ldap ncurses opengl oss xml (-dbus) -esd (-hal) -lcms (-nas)
-samba (-scanner)" 0 kB


2) I've not used Wine on this machine at all so there is no existing
.wine directory.

3) I check Wine is available:

mark at lightning ~ $ wine --version
wine-0.9.53
mark at lightning ~ $

It seems that running wine --version no longer creates a .wine
directory so I found winecfg. Even that throws some error messages but
does start a config app and create the .wine directory. I made NO
changes in winecfg and just accepted all the defaults.

mark at lightning ~ $ winecfg --help
