You are doing a standard wine install. This installs the wine
executables in /usr/local/bin and the libs in /usr/local/lib
(do a ./configure --help to see how those can be changed).

That means that you must have:

- either /usr/local/lib configured in /etc/ld.so.conf or it is
specified in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- /usr/local/bin must be part of the PATH.
- wine executables in /usr/bin and /usr/lib are part of another wine
install, probably the one from the rpm. It is best to remove them.

That is normal. --version is not updated between the offcial
snapshots.
