Wine installation fails

[Gary Roach <gary719_list1@verizon.net>]

I just installed wine 1.0.1, Debian squeeze. The package never 
registered with the menu system. When I attempted to install MATLAB from 
disk, I got the following error:
root@supercrunch:/home/wine# wine /media/cdrom0/setup.exe
No protocol specified

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.


My X server is definely running. I am using a KDE desktop environment.

Winecfg errored out with the following:

root@supercrunch:/home/wine# winecfg

I've looked at some of the web sites but haven't found much help. Does 
anyone have a clue where to start fixing this.

Thanks for any support.
