WineX socket error

Trying to use WineX that I compiled from the cvs to install Steam to play counter-strike. Whenever I do from console
winelauncher SteamInstall.exe
I get a popup box saying.
wine: exists lstat socket : No such file or directory
Wine failed with return code 1

I check the documentation and I'm pretty sure the Steam is supported by this version, since I dled it this morning. What did I do wrong?

Ok, so I got the socket error fixed, however, now for some unknown reason whenever I try to install steam w/ the steaminstaller, I get a popup saying
Could not initialize installation. System DLLs corrupt or missing. Module not found.

I'm a little confused cuz I think I have my wine config file pointing to my windows partition to look for dlls, and windows definately works fine.

I have also attempted to install starcraft to see if ti was just a Steam thing, and I get lots of errors in the console that all go something like

err:module: *blah**blah* Main exe initialazation for *blah**blah* failed.

Could you tell me how you got the socket error fixed.

The only way I found it is by starting wineserver then start wine, but I get the following errors:

Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
