The trick, I found oddly enough, is to download and run the Windows executable!  The people running the Wine project have really seemed to do an amazing job with it.  It’s been a couple years probably since I played with Wine, and in Gutsy at least, the integration is just incredible.  The install was flawless, the Windows dialogs are entirely seamless, for example, the Windows “Desktop” folder defaults to your Ubuntu desktop, the program seems to work fine without any flaws, that I can find at least.

The linux version of ChessDb would not even get past the configure script! Quite the irony to fix that by running the Windows version instead, in linux no less!

The linux admin’s equivalent of surgically removing body parts at random and seeing what happens.
