wine users - Jan 2010 - segmentation fault on wine itself

Hello Winers.
I'm losing hair rapidly, so I need help... and by the looks of it - I need a
lot of help.

(I've seen many seg-fault topics related to specific applications being run
on wine, but my case is different, hence the title.)

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't run Wine. No version of it works, no
wine-related command works. Tried stable 1.0.1, tried running betas, nothing.
Tried installing through repositories, tried downloading .deb package of
different versions straight from the WineHQ download section. Nothing. I've
deleted .wine in my home directory - no effect. I've then deleted all wine
related files, configs, temporary files, cache I could find in system and
reinstall it after. Tried killing pulse-audio, finally removed pulse-audio
altogether... NOTHING.

Wine still gives me only one line:

Code:

ellmo at ellnovo:~$ wine
Segmentation fault
ellmo at ellnovo:~$ wine -v
Segmentation fault
ellmo at ellnovo:~$ winecfg
Segmentation fault




This is incredible.
No error message to work from.
I've been working on a linux for less than a year, and I don't have a
slightest clue what could be wrong.

I beg for your help.

:( 
bump?

There is a bug report from someone with the same problem, but unfortunately, no
resolution, and no activity since last September.

There is a comment in the bug report that says it looks like a package problem,
so you might try building Wine yourself.

Also take a look at these two threads:
