Yes I have all other d3dx9 dll installed. Did you installed xact or xact_jun2010. The game seems to need xadudio1_7.dll

I got exactly the same problem with my Arch 64 and Wine 1.5.1 with latest nVidia drivers. I have installed xact, before that was installed I got error about missing xaudio dll, now I'm stuck with this popup. Have tried installing d3dx9, directx9 and d3dx10 dlls from winetricks and also tried directx10 from Microsoft's site. Tested all those on fresh prefixes, didn't help with Xaudio2 error.

Oh at least I'm not the only one... Could it be a problem with the nvidia drivers or wine being compiled against gcc 4.7.0.

Yes, I did. I used xact_jun2010 although I don't know if it matters.

Btw, here is the full procedure what I did:

1. I installed LoG to completely empty wineprefix:
(in console)
export WINEPREFIX=/home/folder/.wine-log
wine {log setupfile.exe}
installed it to c:\grimrock

2. Then, I tried to run it - and it failed. So I installed (using winetricks)
- xact_jun2010
- directx 9 dlls (all of them, I did select the directx9 package which includes them all)

3. I configured wine to use virtual desktop 1600x900 (that is my game resolution)

4. Next, when running LoG, it complained about d3dx9_43 dll
- I removed said dll from libraries page on winecfg

5. Works!

Did the same thing exactly but after step 5 the game just crashes for me and I get a pop-up about directx9 not being installed correctly but no indication to why though.

Try to manually modify the config file and change the line

ssaoQuality = 2

to 0 or 1. I have vague memory about that causing crashes... also you can try to tweak the other settings to see if that helps.

I tried tweaking all settings and still it just crashes sadly :-(. Wine outputs this though

OK, it seems that those are the errors where it is stopping? Check this if it helps?

EDIT. Oops. No it is not for that, sorry.

good news, I just wanted to post and say you should give crossover a try, it really was just a few clicks for me (and your supporting the people behind wine)

YES !!

Works perfectly :D

(On Ubuntu 10.10 with wine 1.5.1)

It's seems it's important to install these things before you install the game. That did it for me ^_^

Super. F***ing. Awesome. Did this and game runs now without any problems. <3

You're right. It's important to install winetricks stuff before installing the game.

When I try this I get:

/home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/_d3dx9_43/*.cab: No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'cabextract -q -d /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/syswow64 -L -F d3dx9_43.dll /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/_d3dx9_43/*.cab' returned status 1. Aborting.
------------------------------------------------------

Followed this to the letter and it fixed me right up.
