Warcraft III in Linux with wine(x)

Has anyone gotten the can't find directx error while trying to run warcraft in Linux? I've got slackware running 2.4.19rc1 with 256mb ram on a 1.4 ghz athlon and I've recompiled winex from cvs using all the commands from these instructions but every time I run the game (after it successfully installs) I get that it can't find directx. One thing I noticed was that the installer never asks me about directx, it just copies the files and then asks if it should make the desktop icons and then just kinda stops. Any ideas?
 
Bah, I don't know what I did but the chump finally works. I just uninstalled every single thing wine related and then reinstalled the latest cvs by those instructions and ran warcraft 3 (the full windows executable name) and it worked... go figure! Looks damn good and damn fast!!
