Hi,

I believe I did use the newly built version of Wine: I had removed the previous
version with the synaptic package manager and verified that my apps would not
run. Then I installed the version I had built and my windows apps would run
properly again.

With the modified Wine installed, I did try starting maxima.exe by itself from
the terminal ("wine maxima.exe"), and it did seem to start - it printed out the
standard maxima application welcome header text. So that is some progress. But
I could not perform computations with maxima from that terminal.

And when I tried the run maxima from Euler Tool Box (using the first example
script of the first example menu item) Euler hung for 60s and maxima failed to
start. This is the usual error.

Euler calls maxima.exe via 'pipes'. I don't know how that comes into play.
