Trouble running wine from src wine:error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1

I compiled and installd wine from source as root and when trying to run it I get:
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Both as root or normal user, when I do 'locate libwine.so.1' I get:
/usr/src/wine-20040716/libs/wine/libwine.so.1
/usr/src/wine-20040716/libs/libwine.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libwine.so.1

What am I doing wrong? Why isn't wine finding the file?

run the program with strace.

strace -o /home/user/error.log /path/to/wine

then search the error log for relevant info
cat /home/user/error.log | grep libwine.so.1

this should let you know where wine is looking for the library.

just create s symbolic link to sort out the problem.
ln -s /path/to/libwine.so.1 /the/place/wine/is/looking/for/libwine.so.1
