Additional Comments
VERY IMPORTANT
Disabled "texture spooling" in "Preferences -> Imaging, Scratch Disk" to be able to use the application.
Carrara infrequently has lengthy (>5 sec but less than a minute) hangs
Install application Install the Carrara 64-bit application as you usually would under Windows. I used the »Wine FileManager« and simply started the
Carrara_8.1.0.xxx_Win64.exe
which came in the provided download you got from DAZ 3D. Follow the instructions of the setup as you would under Windows and let it finish.
First start It is very important to make a change in the »Preferences« of Carrara at first startup. Otherwise the application would crash when rendering or switching to other Carrara-rooms. So go to
File > Preferences > Imaging, Scratch Disk
and disable
Spool Texture on Disk
Click »OK« and close Carrara.
Start Carrara again Everything works fine now. Happy rendering! :)

Works on recent wine

Carrara 8 (and 8.5 beta) work. Clean install (new system, kubuntu 12.04), installed wine via apt-get (wine1.4), ran installer. Only trick is to disable texture spooling. So far works fine (create scene, add objects, save, load, render).
