Hi,
ok, install gcc and glibc-devel on your computer with yum.

untar the wine package in a folder and type ./configure

when the configure does not end with an error, well, then you have all
package for software developement installed and you can type:
make depend && make

This procedure can take a long time, when it finishes without an error
you can type:

make install

after that, you have a wine binary and you can type wine setup.exe of
your favourite PC Game. But you have to remember, that playing a game
on wine is not the goal of wine. The most games will not run, that is
my experience.

When you have more than 2 questions after reading my post, install
windows and play the game on windows, it is a faster way to success.
