winetricks doesn't work for me

It's been a long time since I used winetricks, but either I'm doing something wrong, or ???
I run Karmic Koala.

Looks like you've run Wine/winetricks as root before.
Check which directory is owned by root ~/.winetrickscache or ~/.wine and remove it with 'sudo rm -rf <directory>'.

Thanks. That was the problem.

FWIW, a check was added a while back to prevent it happening in the
future, and is in the latest winetricks on kegel.com.
