http://www.linuxpackages.net has a repository of programs that are 
specifically tailored to be installed with Slackware's pkgtool program.

It usually takes a few days before one of the gurus that process the programs 
accomplish their tasks and get the programs uploaded.  My Wine is 
perfectly "made" and pops up in KDE or the console.  

and, never run wine as root.
