I installed wine 1.2.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the hopes of getting OpenBUGs running, but no success. It seems like OpenBUGs installs properly, but when I try to open it, I get the following: wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\OpenBUGS.exe What does this mean/how can I fix it?

You need to change directories FIRST before running the program and then use the wine command: wine OpenBUGS.exe to run it. Since you did not provide your folder structure, this is all I can provide.

Thanks for the help. The program file is in my Applications folder. When it installs it seems to unpack it into the Program folder on Drive C (I've installed it twice now as OpenBUGS and OpenBUGS321 (version 3.2.1)). I suspected I didn't have the correct location for the file, and I can't find anything on my machine called OpenBUGs by searching (except in the Applications folder). I am not a programmer (obviously); thanks for the help. I just want to do some Bayesian statistics on my Mac.

Its best to leave things for normal Wine usage in either ~/.wine or some other folder you choose in your home folder. IN the last part you list there, you just did a ls OpenBUGS which doesn't change directories, it just lists the contents. You need to... cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/OpenBUGS and cd into whatever ever other folders you have to until you are in the folder with the exe file... then wine WhateverTheExeFileIsNamed.exe if it ever says it cannot find it in system32, that means its not in the current folder you are in, so it defaulted back to trying to find it in system32, and couldn't find it there either.
