Thank you very much for your solutions. Sridhar (hope that's your first name ;-) ), your suggestion worked fine, establishing a simlink solved the problem. This was not bound to wine, but since it was the only GL-app I used, I noticed it with wine only - celestia would fail as well. I'll top-post this one and change the subject, so someone who has a similar problem can search for it and see the whole context of the problem. Sorry for violating the policy, but I feel it's OK here. Thanks again to both of you, Aleks Quoth Sridhar M.A.: > On Sat, Jan 19, 2008 at 12:08:59PM -0700, Jonathan Doe wrote: > > On Saturday 19 January 2008 07:41:04 am Александър Л.
