I have run the regression procedure from the wiki page and when I did the
install command I got this:
Can I continue the regression, or is something really wrong?
This is my reported software environment.

You should compile wine from source if you are to do regression testing. Read http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine for instructions.

Google for it and you should find it. When it exits, it gives two lines for setting the PATH and the dynamic library path. It should be editable to work with any version of Linux. This is what I use for building/testing given the short cycles for the Release Candidates. James

I am on Linux Lm11 currently and have fixed my path to place the wine-get directory at the top of the path list. Since I have other problems that are causing me to reboot occasionally, I was thinking of updating my profile to test for the directory and to it automatically. Last test went fine once I straightened out some permissions. Crashed as expected, so I am now going on to bisection. Thanks for the thoughts, John.
Finished bisecting between 1.4-rc1 and 1.4-rc2. All tests uniformly bad. I wonder if I might have missed this in my tests of rc1? Is it possible to create rc1 and test again? There is also a possibility I found a bug in the app (SimCity 4 Deluxe), but I am active in the bugs forum on Stimtropolis and this would be a new one. This app has been unchanged by the vendor since 2003. Besides, it is not consistent so far as the app goes, but it does seem to be consistent in wine. Should I just report this on Bugzilla and stop or can I continue hunting somehow?
