wine users - Oct 2010 - Wine apps load from Ubuntu application munu but not from cli

Hey,

I have just installed civilization IV and it's expansions in wine.  After
doing the required workarounds to make it run correctly it seems to work quite
well.

However, I have come to realize that I am only able to launch it when using the
automatic added menu entry in the wine folder Ubuntu menu.  I have reviewed the
command being executed and tried the command copied from the launcher as well as
the shorter "standard" form. (WINEPREFIX=... wine /.../something.exe)
But whenever I run it in a terminal I get all of the errors and then it exits.

This has not been the only exe to have this problem, but it is hit and miss.  I
have had this problem across multiple installs of both Ubuntu and wine so I
assume it's just something I'm doing incorrectly.

Here's my setup:
Ubuntu: 10.04LTS
wine: v1.1.42
 --fresh install with replacement of dx9 and dx10 dlls

I'm just paranoid that i may loose the launcher and be stuck with no way to
launch my apps.  :?

Are you running it from where CIV4 was installed like:

$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Civ4

If not, this may be why you receive a bunch of errors and then it quits.

Also, please go to the Civ 4 entry in the Applications Database.  There 
may be hints on how to run it from the Command Line in Linux.

Did you cd to the program directory first?

Yep, just as a normal user.  And I retried everything using metacity as a window
manager but I am receiving the same errors.
