The bash message means that bash can't find an executable copy of wine
anywhere in your PATH (an environment variable).
1. Make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH. (It probably is. You can
check by typing "env" at the command line and looking at the result for PATH.)
2. Make sure that /usr/local/bin/wine is executable by whatever userid you
are using to run the test. To check this, do the following:
cd /usr/local/bin
ls -l | grep wine
For wine to execute, EITHER the string of letters on the left should be
-rwxr-xr-x
OR the userid in the third field should match the one you were trying to run
wine as AND the string of letters should read
-r-x------
(In either case above, it doesn't matter if some of the "-" characters are
replaced by letters.) If you need to fix this, a quick-and-dirty way to do
so is (while running as whatever userid owns wine, that is, the one in the
third field mentioned above):
cd /usr/local/bin
chmod 555 wine
(The "dirty" part is that this may introduce a security hole, depending on
what you want to do with wine and your system generally. Once it's running,
you should consider that.)
Hope this helps. Good luck.
