	This is *very* bad habit. You will get much more problems by doing this. If 
you will not try to run *anything* as root first without good reasons you 
will not have permission problems. This is as simple as that. By trying "all 
new software" as root you are creating a lot of permission problems for 
yourself, and this is also very insecure. Don't do this (and correct 
permissions you already messed up by doing this), and you will not have such 
problems anymore.

	"wine version" is wrong command. Try this (just copy & paste):

wine --version

	You should get something like this as an output:

wine-0.9.58
