BeerSmith on Ubuntu 8.04

I've installed BeerSmith 1.4 on my  Ubuntu 8.04. I've searched the forums when it would crash. It said to "Set your the WINEPREFIX environment variable to $HOME/.wine/ie6". How do I do this? Also, when I click on the link to install "IES4Linux (http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page)". I get a "Reported Attack Site!" is there another way to install IE in Linux? Or, are you going to fix it so it will run on Linux machines?

Hi,
  I'm not a Wine expert but I know you need IE installed for the preview and printing to work properly.  I'm hoping someone running Linux can jump in here...

I'm using BeerSmith on LinuxMint 7. I had trouble just using WINE, I don't remember exactly what the problems were but I know it started working much better once I installed wine-doors. I'm pretty sure it's in the ubuntu repositories. You could just open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install wine-doors

wine-doors gives you a window that shows you a bunch of windows software you can install. This is how I got IE installed. That made BeerSmith work much better.

But I actually just installed it on my new laptop the same way, and I can't print, or even print preview. Other Wine apps are able to print just fine.

I did discover that when I try to do a print preview of the brew sheet it creates a .tmp file in Program Files\Beersmith\templates which is actually an HTML file. So I just rename it .html and open in my browser and print it that way.

Anyone have any suggestions for that?

I think what I really need to know is just how to set an environment variable.  On Ubuntu 7.10. Anyone know how?
