[Wine] wine not initializing correctly?

I installed wine using the fc5 repositories.
# wine --version
Wine 0.9.24
I then try to use winecfg and get:
# winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/root/.wine'...
Failed to open the service control manager.
It hangs here forever. However, it does create a wine directory with random extension:
e.g. .wine-SMvQR6
Everytime I run the winecfg command, I get another directory with a different random extension. I thought that if I ran this as root, it would create a global directory so that any package installed would be available for any user, but .. I can't even get winecfg to work.
What am I doing wrong?
Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
