wine users - Apr 2003 - What's with the socket file?

Hello! 
 
I've just installed Gentoo Linux hoping to run some decent Direct Connect
client on it. After trying the
ones included in Gentoo, I decided they weren't good enough. (They crashed.)
So I'd like to try DC++
using wine. So I installed winex-cvs in the Gentoo distro. 
 
However, it doesn't really work. This is what I get (zeppo is my box): 
 
$ winex-cvs .winex-cvs/fake_windows/Program\
Files/DCPlusPlus-0.241/DCPlusPlus.exe
wine: lstat /home/frepe/.winex-cvs/wineserver-zeppo/socket : No such file or
directory
 
I've googled around and found that if  remove the
~/.winex-cvs/wineserver-zeppo directory every time I
start wine, things should work. They don't. I don't get the error
message, but nothing, NOTHING
happens. 
 
Any ideas?  
 
Thanks.
