I now think that when I was trying to run Wine from the command line, I was actually starting up the binary distribution of Wine that I had installed (ie from http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ ). I don't yet know how the program name specified in the command line finds the right files to run - I need to do some reading on Unix based OSs I think!
Anyway I've tried uninstalling everything as best I know how - which on the Mac seems to be done by just deleting the directories with the programs in it, and have tried reinstalling Wine using mac ports as per http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac. Now even when I try running my program installer wine hangs. After a while I get: 'err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out'
I've tried searching Bugzilla for this but can't find anything useful - or else don't know what I'm looking at.
Does anyone have any hints for finding and correcting this initial start-up problem? I'm worried that I didn't uninstall the other versions of Wine properly.
Also, this is now quite a different issue from where I started, should I register a new bug and close this one?
I will appreciate anyone's help - I seem to be going backwards!
