It ought to be:  it is a part of wine, so it should install with it.
At a guess it is in /opt/wine/lib, so you might look for it there.

I _think_ you can also get that error if the library in question refers
to another library that is not kown to the dynamic linker.  You can
check this with "ldd /opt/wine/lib/libntdll.so" (if I guessed right and
/opt/wine/lib is where it is).  In either case what you want to do is
add the path where the library is to the dynamic linker's search path.
If you are friendly with the system administrator (it might be you, FI)
you can have it add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig,
or you can add it the the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/wine/lib"
wine.bin blah.exe

Have a nice long read of man bash.  I have been reading it for four
years now, and I have much more to learn about it.
