Wine RPMs have never properly worked for me (I run JDS R2); so, I stick with installing via the wineinstall script. I also recommend others to not use RPMs to avoid possible hassles. (Ironic isn't it?) Wineinstall just makes everything easy by automating everything -- from configuring to making to installing to creating my fake c drive & config file -- ... especially when I'm instructed to rent a video or two. ;)
And this is the problem: having wineinstall around makes it a self-fulfiling profecy: in theory, you should get the *same* result (and working version) if you run wineinstall or configure/make/make install. But because we have wineinstall people don't bother to fix the standard process, and instead patch wineinstall.
So, if RPM's don't work, or configure/make/make install doesn't it's a bug. It needs fixing. As Dan put it, wineinstall should just be: configure && make && make depend && make install
