[Wine] Newbie: Problem running FileMaker 8.5

Dear All

I'm new to Linux, and even newer to Wine. So, please excuse...

I've got a Dell D800 with both Linux and Windows installed. Linux is 
Debian Etch, Windows is XP. The reason for installing Wine was that I'd 
like to use FileMaker Pro 8.5 from within Linux. I've installed Wine to 
the Linux world by:

sudo apt-get install wine

This worked without problems.

In the shell, I cd to the  Windows partition (which is mounted as 
readable/writable) and to the path where FileMaker 8.5 lives:

cd /mnt/winpartition/Program Files/FileMaker/FileMaker Pro 8.5

Then, I tried running FileMaker, which, however, did not work:

------------------------------------------
wine FileMaker\ Pro.exe
Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin FileMaker Pro.exe ...
err:module:import_dll Library WLDAP32.dll (which is needed by 
L"Z:\\mnt\\winpartition\\Program Files\\FileMaker\\FileMaker Pro 
8.5\\FileMaker Pro.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for 
L"Z:\\mnt\\winpartition\\Program Files\\FileMaker\\FileMaker Pro 
8.5\\FileMaker Pro.exe" failed, status c0000135
Wine failed with return code 1

        This dialog box is a temporary status dialog to let you know
        that Wine is attempting to launch your application.

        Since Wine is still very much in a development stage,
        many applications will fail silently.
        This dialog box is your indication
        that we're *trying* to run your application.

        This dialog box will automatically disappear after 30 seconds,
        or after your application finishes.

        You can permanently disable this dialog by selecting
        the option below.
        " 2>/dev/null
------------------------------------------

I also have FileMaker 6 (in /mnt/winpartition/Program 
Files/FileMaker/FileMaker Pro 6), which does work. However, I need the 
newer version 8.5 for my work. Can someone help me to get 8.5 running?
