wine users - Apr 2012 - Help with google sketchup 8 installing with Winetricks

OK I am new here. So pardon me but, I updated winetricks this evening through
the package manager and then tried to install googlesketchup8 on Ubuntu 11.10

Has anyone got it to work and how? is there any patches and how would I go about
setting up the patch? As I saw one for winetricks but I thought I would update
first and then get some help on here if it still didn't work.

Hope people can help,

Thanks

V.15 from the repository

NOTHING! google sketchup 8 icon on the desk top, followed the registry
alterations but still NOTHING!

Hope someone can help please?

Thanks

Yes, as you were told before, report a bug to the winetricks team.  We
cannot fix their processes and they will report bugs that affect their
product if they exist in Wine.

SketchUp should work. Have you tried just installing it directly?

I updated winetricks to know about bug 14045 being fixed in 1.3.18.

Works for me now (though I think it did before, too).

Still having problems?
