If you compiled from the Wine source and didn't specify any arguments to
./configure, all dll's install to /usr/local/lib.  It is possible that
the dynamic linker simply doesn't know to look for them there.
All it knows is to look in /lib, /usr/lib, and in directories named in
the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and /etc/ld.so.conf.
Maybe you just need to add /usr/local/lib to one of those.  The system
administrator should run /sbin/ldconfig any time it changes
/etc/ld.so.conf.

If that is not the problem, maybe you do have vestiges of the old
version.  Some wine packages put the dlls in /opt/wine/lib, others in
/usr/X11R6/lib, others I know not where, but at worst you should be able
to find out where with FI (may take a while, you can use the -xdev
option to find to limit the search if you are sure the old package
wasn't on some other filesystem).

find / -type f -name libntdll.so
