Thanks for the help!  I am guessing that the debian wine package
should have added the line to /etc/ld.so.conf, but for some reason
didn't --- is that right?  I'm not familiar with how ldconfig etc
works.  I presume I just run ldconfig with no options (after changing
the ld.so.conf file), is that right?

Wine certainly has come a long way.  I last had a serious go at using
it a couple of years ago, with limited success.  But from all reports
it is much better now!

What is the advantage of Storm over normal debian?
