OK, I finally got Eve to run on Wine 1.1.30 on Ubuntu. Lockups after selecting a character seem to be the norm. This new version does have some nifty features and I wanted it, so I found a patch that supposed to fix the problem and here's what I did. I'll summarize and attempt to detail the fix, for the experienced and non-experienced.
WARNING: This is done at your own risk. I am not smart enough to support your computer. I've been on Linux for four weeks. Also, after this install, your Wine menu WILL BE MISSING. I'm sure there's some way to get it back, but it won't install by default from a compile. Everything can be done from the command line, but if you know how to get the Wine menu to install afterwards, please let me know. Links are provided in plain text so that URLs can be verified. Feel free to do searches to find the files yourself. It's not hard. /WARNING
Summary:
Uninstall your current version of Wine
Compile Wine 1.1.30 with the patch listed here. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20159
Specifics:
Go to Add/Remove in your menu. Remove Wine. Delete the .wine directory in your /home/<username> folder. If you don't see it, unhide it by pressing ctrl+H.
Download the Wine source and extract it to a folder, preferably in a location that you don't need root access to. Your desktop is excellent. Search yourself or link here.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/
Download the patch at the site below and place it into the uncompressed Wine directory you created above.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20159
In a terminal, go to the directory of the Wine source that you created. If you placed it on your desktop, the command is:
"cd /home/<username>/desktop/<foldername>"
If you changed the name of the patch file from patch.diff, change the command below accordingly. Run the command:
"patch -p1 < patch.diff"
You should receive a couple of lines indicating that a couple of files have been updated. As I recall, there were only two. If it doesn't take, try "patch -p0" instead. I'm pretty sure it was -p1 though.
Once that takes, while still browsed to the Wine source directory run the command:
"./configure"
This should throw out quite a few lines. After that run:
"make depend && make"
This will take some time. I think it was about 20 minutes on my machine. When it completes run:
"sudo make install"
Wine installs version 1.1.30 with the patch applied and the world is happy. Please make sure to follow the Eve installation instructions from the beginning though. The ones I like most are found here.

Hope this helps other people.

awesome :) my eve works again.
This also works with the source of the wine-ubuntu repository.
my list of commands:
as root:
"apt-get install build-essential" (installing the compiling stuff)
"apt-get build-dep wine" (installing the required libs for compiling wine)
The last on requires watching wat it installs since it might uninstall your nvidia or ATI drivers. Don't copy paste this recklesly.
as user:
"apt-get source wine"
"cd wine* "
"dch -n (changing the version number so apt won't reinstall)"
"wget http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=23779 -O patch.diff"
"patch -p1 < patch.diff"
"nice -n 21 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b " (building the .deb while being able to do stuff on the computer, like posting on the EVE-forum)
"cd .." (the debs are placed in an upper dir)
as root:
"dpkg -i wine*.deb"
and it works (for me)
tonight, we mine in Hek |

Double up on that. Thanks for good & easy instructions too. Just the "dch -n" was gold.

sadly under 9.10 this does not work. you still get just blank... no matter what version of WINE you use. Will try it after I revert back to 9.04

I'd suggest you look into updating your GFX drivers. "Blank" sounds like that kind of area or if you have the dx9 library in place.
To the OP: Coming from someone who is Linux savy, that was very well written. I'm not an Ubuntu user, but its still a very clear howto. Well done
