I copied the d3dx9_26.dll into the system32 manually and you were correct, the
install continued this time.

Someone else pointed out that wine has it's own directx. I don't know how to
proceed to try to figure out how to make the Civ4 installer detect the wine directx.

Is there some conversion process to turn /usr/local/lib/wine/wined3d.dll.so into
"MS-DOS executable PE  for MS Windows" dll format needed in the system32 directory? 

Looking at opengl32, perhaps I guess the dll is some sort of wrapper that calls
into the .so file.

jcarr:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32# ll /usr/local/lib/wine/opengl32.dll.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.2M Nov  7 19:08 /usr/local/lib/wine/opengl32.dll.so
jcarr:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32# ll opengl32.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.4K Nov  7 21:14 opengl32.dll

I don't know anything about windows, but I'm willing to try stuff if you can be
patient with me on the windows side of things.
