Hello everyone
I'm incredibly new to Wine, and am having a few issues with it.
I'm on a 2011 MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4 installed.
All I need Wine for is to run games that are specifically for Windows and not Mac.
I've tried running them through terminal as instructions on the official Wine Wiki suggested, but I keep getting a few errors, such as Wine not being able to locate system 32, and this error: Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
Like I said, I'm really new to this. Any help at all would be appreciated.

REALLY new user to Wine.
"cannot find in system32" just means your using it wrong. You need to change directory (cd command) into the actual folder the Windows exe is in before trying to launch it. If your in the wrong place, it will look for it in normal places like system32 and of course not find it.
The dbus thing seems pretty common, but I never had it cause a problem since Wine on OSX doesn't even need dbus.

generally you can also still create shortcuts, or, uhh, i dont know mac at all so whatever a shortcut is
so that you dont need to go into terminal to run something
if the exe file is not in system32, then you will have to manual direct to it
for newbies thats going to your file thingy, finding the path and copying it, and then type cd (paste path here), and then saying wine (program name, like steam.exe)
ALSO
since i know this is what your going to encounter next, always lookup the game your going to run first to get all your dependencies before running the game, like dungeon defenders needs a workaround and dotnet20 and 35 and sp1 before you even touch the game or else you need to reinstall it
