You have installed binary version of Wine (already precompiled). The "tar.bz2" you talking about is the source code. You can't use it as-is. It needs to be compiled first.

GIT is a "source control system" Wine uses. You can't use it and the tarball (that .tar.bz2 file) together.

If you use tarball - you need to extract it first

Code:

cd ~
tar xjf wine-1.1.6.tar.bz2



Then compile it:

Code:

cd ~/.wine-1.1.6
./configure --verbose
make depend all




However before you try to compile Wine you'll need number of required development packages for it: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages
