Directx

[kingnothing113]

I'm currently trying to install Madden 08 on my Linux computer(Jaunty Jackolope). It says I need direct x, so I'm trying to install direct x, but, I can't. It gives me an error message the second I try it. Help?

You don't install DirectX under WINE...

Why oh why don't people read the stickies?

3. Do not try and install DirectX - Wine already has its own implementation of DirectX, and attempting to install the Windows version will simply break things.

You also should have looked at the appdb, there are a few things that you'll need to do to get this game working it seems:
