Actually, it is glibc the problem. Red Hat 9 uses glibc 2.3, and it isn't very friendly with wine...
You can configure and run wine after setting
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
and it should solve the problem. But for me this solution worked only half the way.
I tried to install Warcraft 3, and before i used that export, the installer did not launched. After the export, it crashes when starting copying the files to c:\program files\warcraft 3.
If anyone knows what is happening, please help me
