Here is a dump of the debug log:

[09/07/12 17:00:13] - Running wine-1.4-dos_support_0.5 SAVAGE.EXE (Working directory : /home/sean/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/WorldsOfUltimaTSE_gog/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/The Savage Empire/SAVAGE)

DOSBox: error while loading shared libraries: libvorbis.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I was able to fix other missing things like 7z and whatnot, but I cannot seem to figure out where the missing library for libvorbis.so.0 is at.

Thanks,
Sean

Note: This is any DOSBOX game, because those are all that I own.

HI, you need the 32bit version of the lib (libvorbis0a:i386?)

The DOSBox support only embarks the 32bit libs it needs that are usually not present everywhere, but it can be a bit optimistic at times.
Feel free to add to add other missing libs to http://www.playonmac.com/en/issue-1243.html

Regards,
Pierre.

I found the problem. On 64bit systems you must install ia32-libs for 32bit shared libraries.

What is your distribution, and how did you install PlayOnLinux?
When using some packaging system, it should have been installed as an (indirect) dependency, as a requirement of Wine...

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit... standard vanilla version from their site. I installed POL from this website using the command line method provided on the downloads page.

Mmmmh they're actually several command-line procedures that could apply on that page :p
If you installed the PlayOnLinux repository for Ubuntu Precise, it should have taken care of the dependencies. but not if you cloned the git repository.

I used the precise repo, I didn't pull it from git.

Ok, a missing dependency of the DOSBox support then, as you reported already...
