STEVEN!!

When you start the applcation from konsole, within konsole you will 
immediately be flooded with error messages!!!

However, what really counts here, is what you see inside konsole, when 
you click
"on the Bible of choice and nothing happens".

Please have e-Sword and the konsole which started e-sword, open and 
directly side by side. Then do your "click, where nothing happens" and 
let us know what konsole shows at that very moment.

Hopefully we will see, what the application tries to do, but does not 
succeed in doing.


There are better debug options in wine but I am not familiar with them 
and would have to investigate, if this one does not reveal anything.
useful.

You can also find many informations about "e-sword with wine" on google. 
Mostly they are relating to msls31.dll which is missing and 
riched20.dll, which should be set to "built in" for e-Sword.exe via winecfg.

kind regards
