wine users - Mar 2009 - Ubuntu 8.10 - Irfanview - no longer able to install or use

I'm not sure if it's related or different, but I've found that the 
latest version of Irfanview (I think that's 4.23) will install, but will 
not run properly on wine in OSX.  I had to move back to Irfanview 4.10 
which still works fine on my system.  I'm running OSX Tiger and Wine 
ver. wine-0.9.53.  I didn't want to fuss with why 4.23 won't work since 
it wasn't clear to me what the difference between that and 4.10 is.  The 
earlier version meets my needs.
