Hi,
Taking a break for a few minutes from my fst/jack_fst work I
decided to try a quick install of Myst, an old game that has, at
various times, installed, not installed, worked or not worked with
Wine. (According to the app database.) Anyway, I wanted to try it out
so, to cause as few problems as possible for my existing Wine
installation, I created a new user account named myst and then
attempted to install from there, thus creating a new .wine directory,
etc. I su'ed into myst in an xterm, mounted the CD, and then tried
running the installation from the CD. Unfortunately it didn't work.
NOTE: I made no configuration changes to how Wine is running. I just
configured wine by running 'wine notepad' which created directories,
etc., and then tried from there.
My questions are really about how valid it is to do this.
1) User mark owns the X display. User myst is running Wine. Any
problems? Does user Myst have to log on and start X to run programs
under Wine?
2) When the install died and the debugger started I did a back trace.
I noticed that the debugger is showing /home/mark/CODE/WINE/... which
is probably not a directory that user myst has access to. Is this a
problem? Is this a location the user myst or the debugger needs access
to? Or is it just a name in the code?

I can do more debugging of this, but Myst is not a priority to me. Of
more interest is learning the right way to set this stuff up and to do
the debugging in a proper manner, and then to help solve problems of
interest.
Thanks,
Mark
