The wine package is built for various different distributions and operating
systems. Its not possible to give precise package names for your distribution,
because its of cause called differently everywhere. If you ask me, the current
names are good enough, and the usual way to track down dependency errors is to
look at config.log anyway. Most of ./configure is autogenerated, which makes it
difficult/impossible to give precise error messages about what went wrong.
Thats what the log file is for.

I am pretty sure that there are existing packages for RHEL or similar distros,
why don't you look up the dependency names there, instead of trying to guess
them?

You didn't attach any log?!

When you already know that its complaining because of missing zlib-devel, why
don't you install it?

I have to agree with Rosanne, so far I don't see any real bug in here. I've
also looked up, and you indeed asked most of these questions also on the
forums, but without following the advice (installing zlib development files was
also suggested there, for example). If you wanted to open this bug about the
general issue that ./configure in some situations reports imprecise error
messages, you should have made this more clear from the beginning, to avoid
confusion.

For general help how to compile wine the forums or #winehq (on freenode) are
more appropriate, it is only a bug in wine when the detection really fails
although you have everything installed.
