[Wine] Problem with Windows Java/Mathemaica under wine

[David Bailey]

I would like to run the Windows version Mathematica 7.0 on 64-bit Fedora 17, using wine.This may seem a little strange, because Wolfram Research do produce a linux version of this software.  However, I have Windows users for clients, so to use Linux,
I really would like to run the same software as they will run.

Anyway, I first experimented under Ubuntu using wine 1.3.35, and the installation program worked perfectly, and the software worked well as well.
I was pleasantly surprised by this, because Mathematica comes with its own copy of Java, which it uses as a separate process, btu the Mathematica Java
includes some native methods, so clearly at 1.3.35, the whole Windows Java execution and JIT engine must have worked.

After moving to Fedora 17, I find I am on wine 1.5.3, and now the installer works well, but Mathematica seems to break as soon as it accesses java, with the following information:

Note that this is wine executing the 32-bit version of Mathematica  on 64-bit linux (as in my earlier experiments).


1)       I'd like to offer this information to help to remove this bug in later versions.

2)       I wonder if there is anything that I could tweak that might fix this.
