Since I see  ^^^^^, you don't appear to be running "as a user". You 
should generally log into a Linux system only as a user, and if you need 
root privledges for something, then "su -" in a terminal window to 
become root.

Also, be sure to uninstall the Redhat version of wine, if that was 
installed.
