wine users - Aug 2010 - html rendering and gecko on a winmx install wine 1.1.11

opensuse 11.2  64 bit

I have downloaded and compiled/installed wine 1.1.11, so that I may use a
windows program called  WinMX 3.54b4 [32 bit] on my linux opensuse distro.  I
had been advised that Wine versions higher than this do not work well with
WinMX.  At the end of the compile it tells me that libgphoto2-32bit was not
found and that cameras won't work.  I check in Yast2 to see if it can be
installed and find that it is installed.   I uninstall and reinstall it and run
the compile again but it still tells me that it is not installed.   I am not
planning on using any windows camera software, so I ignore it and carry on with
the make and make install.  Wine is finished and I navigate to a browser
[firefox] so that I can downloadl my WinMX from a website and install it.  I
install winmx thru wine and it goes fine up until the 1st start instance of
winmx.   All of a sudden I get a popup window [Wine Gecko Installer] informing
me that my application is trying to show an html page,  [WinMX is a P2P  music
and chat program][listed on this site]  and that wine needs gecko to do this. 
Click Install to do this.
So if I click install it just hangs and nothing happens.  If I click cancel,
Winmx opens and does its thing.
I have done some googling and came up with this info:

I went thru the steps and still nothing changed.  Did a little more digging on
WineHQ site and found I needed a different version of gecko for The version of
wine I am using.  Went thru steps  again, but still this window pops up and
hangs when I click the install button.
How can I get this gecko to either install or go away.
I have not had any of this happen before and I have installed and also complied
a few different versions of wine and the gecko thing always was ok before too. 
Is it because I am compiling a 32 bit wine on a 64 bit system?   I followed the
directions for this very closely and had no problems before re: dependencies,
etc.  The prior versions that I installed on this 64 bit system are version 1.0 
and version 1.2.  I had no problems and they worked fine.  I cannot figure out
what I am doing differently or wrong.  Please help.  Thank You.

Who told you that? According to the AppDB, it's rated gold for Wine 1.3.0.

I am sorry.  My point was not to slam the newer versions of Wine.  In fact I did
say that I had installed 1.2 without problems before on this 64 bit system. 
sorry if I was unclear.

My problem is this gecko and html rendering thing  on opensuse 11.2 64 bit.  At
this time it will not work for me.

I just want to get this gecko problem solved and  have tried somethings and they
are not working even with version 1.2.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?
Thank You.
