OpenStudio and SketchUp Plugin + Linux (Wine)

Hello, I am trying to make the OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin work under Linux (Xubuntu) with Wine. I have installed SketchUp Make 2014 for Windows with Wine (in Xubuntu) and with some tricks found on WineHQ about it I made SketchUp work. After that, I have installed the OpenStudio Suite for Windows, again with Wine, but I can't see any Plugin in SketchUp. In the OpenStudio/Ruby directory (Wine under Linux, again) there is a folder which contains the SketchUp plugin ruby files, which are supposed to work fine in a "pure Windows" OS, but here with Wine the plugin cannot be loaded. In fact I get the error "Error loading OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in: cannot load such file -- pathname", which in the end derives from the file "Startup.rb" in the last lines:

UI.messagebox("Error loading OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-In:\n  #{e.message}", MB_OK)

The point is: does anybody get this plugin for SketchUp work with Linux (Wine)? Thank you!
