Please help me.do you mean to say, that you just installed wine, and then you literally opened a console and typed "wine", alone by itself??? if so, instead run winecfg, if that loads up, then you will first see it update your wine folder, followed by a panel for winecfg on the screen. <---if this happens wine is installed. You should also have a "wine section" in your applications menu. Now, you are ready to install wine apps. You need to do that to actually use wine. jordan
I runned ~/Program/wine/wine winecfg and get the config dialog, but I dont see any wine section it the applications menu, every program I installed with wine goes on Lost & Found. What I want to do is to start a program by just typing wine myprogram.exe rather than have to tell where wine are like ~/Program/wine/wine.

Oops, forget that you cannot edit! :( Also, the wine command still not work, just in the wine dir.
What distro, what version of Wine, and how did you install it?

If you are not and that is what you are receiving, wine did not install properly and you need to re-install it. James McKenzie

Should I made a shell script for every program I wanna run?if you installed it to ~/Program/wine then you need to add that to your path for it to find the commands just typing them in... it doesn't know to look in there. you can also cd into that folder and use like ./wine and ./wineserver -p or whatever... with the ./ telling it to look for the command in the current folder.
