    This may be the bug I found when attempting a fresh install
    of Darwin 0.9.7 under Mac OS X-86. Upon any attempt to
    lauch WineHelper, winecfg, or a Windows application, Darwine
    fails to initialize with files from the /tmp/wine_root
    subdirectory. Even launching winecfg after "sudo -s" does
    not work.

    As I recall, here's how I got Darwine working:

    1. After opening the Darwine-x86-0.9.7.dmg file, copy the
    Darwine folder to the Applications folder, as directed.

    2. Attempt to launch Winehelper, or a Windows application.
    It may also be helpful to open a terminal and

    cd /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin
    sudo ./winecfg

    In all liklihood, all of the above attempts to get Darwine
    working will result in errors and the following additional
    steps will be necessary.

    3. Create the missing tmp subdirectory in terminal and copy
    the needed files:

    sudo -s
    cd /tmp
    mkdir wine_root
    cp -R /Library/Darwine/lib /tmp/wine_root
    cp -R /Library/Darwine/share /tmp/wine_root

    Try to launch a Winehelper or a Windows ap. Darwine should
    now function as expected.
