What you had downloaded ? tar.gz ??
I recommend you to install via package manager.
open Yast-> software -> software management

search filter-> wine
what is the wine version installed ? check available version ( which is shown in the parenthesis )
ex. wine 1.0.1 ( 1.1.3 )
If not shown latest (1.1.3) or not installed latest version … then follow this

  • press ctrl+M (=repository manager )
  • add new repository
  • select community repository
  • check mark on WINE
    it will refresh the package manager.
    After pressing OK, it redirects to the “install software”.
    again search filter type “wine”. select the wine among the search results
    right click on it, select “update”.

now you installing latest WINE
