If they are all the same, then it's rather odd that only FC4 (besides
SuSE) works.
I wonder if they have any distro-specific patches.
Presumably that information is available somewhere.

If you want help here, upgrade to Wine 0.9.1 or CVS/SVN HEAD.

Although the Wine developers will punk you if you as an outsider try
and submit a code patch without a thorough test case, they happily
submit lots of stuff themselves that break things all the time :-). 
Therefore noone seems to know how a version that's more than a month
old works, and you're very unlikely to get any help with it.  So:
upgrade.

Another approach could be to use CrossOver's version of Wine. 
Apparently it's not expensive.  What they offer is a guarantee that
their version will run a number of applications, some of those are
Lotus applications.  They have a trial available over at
http://www.codeweavers.com/.

If you want help with Wine 0.9.1 or CVS/SVN HEAD, run your
applications in a console window, eg. like this:

# wine setup.exe

That will produce output on the console.  When the program crashes,
you should see lines like "err: blah blah", which you should report
here.

(If you think that more information regarding fx. a specific DLL is
needed, there's also a number of debug channels that you can turn on. 
Search the mailing list archives or one of the Wikis or the docs for
more information on that.)
