Yikes! Reinstalling the OS to make wine work? Definitely should not be 
required under any circumstances.

What OS did you install? Does it come with its own Wine? Did you 
uninstall it first? Did you use ./tools/wineinstall to do the initial 
wine compile and configuration (I assume you are using the CVS Wine)? 
Did you start with a fresh ~/.wine/config?
