Running wine on the linuxgrid requires a little setup because of 2 problems:

A: The DISPLAY is not local and most fonts are "invisible". Before actually using it, do:

  1. Create a file settings.reg in you HOME directory with the following 3 lines:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
    "ClientSideWithRender"="N"
    "ClientSideWithCore"="N"
  2. Run wine regedit settings.reg
    This will take up to one minute and will write out a lot of stuff to the terminal.
  3. When it stop writing hit ENTER a few times to see that the command has completed.
  4. Optional run winecfg
  5. Start an application by running wine myapp.exe

B: In the shell which start wine you must unset the ulimit restrction for stack size, i.e.
ulimit -s unlimited
wine
