wine users - Jul 2010 - Wine incorrectly appends ".so" to the libraries it loads

The problem itself is that Sins of a Solar Empire does not run under Wine, but I
am quite confident that appending an extra ".so" is what's causing
this game to crash, so I just made that the subject to hopefully get better
results.

I'm using Wine 1.2 on both my desktop computer and my laptop.  Sins of a
Solar Empire works on the desktop, but not the laptop.  I started with a fresh
.wine directory in both.  On the laptop, the game just crashes and Sins of a
Solar Empire spits out a memory dump.

Running wine with WINEDEBUG=warn+all indicates that wine incorrectly adds
".so" to the file names of the libraries it looks for.  This results
in errors like this:

Code:

warn:module:load_builtin_dll cannot open .so lib for builtin
L"ntdll.dll.so": /usr/local/bin/../lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory




I've pasted the full output of wine on the laptop trying to run Sins of a
Solar Empire:
http://pastebin.com/qqKVKT58
The excerpt above is from line 1375 and other libraries fail the same way in the
lines around it.

Another game, Descent 3, runs flawlessly on the laptop.  I do not know what to
make of this.

Thanks and all.

Hmm...  A word dropped out of the subject line somehow.  it should have ended
with "to the libraries it loads".

No, the library files are actually called .dll.so and should be located 
in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib.  Looks like something is munged with your 
wine file install.

What operating system/version/distribution are you running and how did 
you install Wine on your laptop?

I know that the dll files end in .so, but what Wine seems to be looking for when
it runs a program is a file that ends with .dll.so.so.  'sorry if I
wasn't completely clear in my description of the problem.

I compiled Wine from source on OpenSUSE 11.3.
