wine users - Oct 2008 - Darwine issues

I am trying to use darwine 1.1.7 on 10.5.5 and am having issues. I downloaded
the package from thisismyinter.net and is doesn't run anything, including
the sample winelib applications. However, when I use the version from
http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/ it runs just fine. I have XQuartz 2.3.1 as
well. This started recently, I can't remember what did it. Here is a link to
the output when I try to run winefile.exe: http://pastebin.com/f374330ca
What is wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks for your help,
Andy

I will try to replicate.

Do you know of any problems with your builds of Darwine and Leopard
(10.5.5) and XQuartz?

fwiw, I'm on Xquartz 2.3.2 beta 2 - Though that's a recent update, i  
was on 2.3.1 when i compiled my builds of Darwine (1.0.1 and 1.1.7  
were both compiled on the same day, so another possible test would be  
to run 1.0.1 and see if that has problems. If that has problems as  
well, it indicates that there are some problems on my end, rather then  
his end.

Well, I moved .wine and deleted the prefs file and it worked (from the comand
line). Thanks.
I deleted the prefs file before, and it didn't work, then I moved the wine
folder (at least all visible things within .wine, if there were and hidden files
or folders within .wine, those didn't get moved) and it didn't work.
(just not both at the same time, and not from the command line)
I don't think there are any issues with any of the builds.

Is there anything else you'd like me to do to see if I can find out more
specifically what caused it?
