This is a known issue with winex 3. The latest glibc causes this bug. The workaround is to edit /usr/bin/winex and add a line around line 19 after the export statements as follows [code:1] rm -rf $WINEPREFIX/wineserver-$HOSTNAME [/code:1] Replace $HOSTNAME with the FQDN of your machine. Hope this helps. John
