I am following the following instructions from a forum online.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
ok you are going to have to do this
open up a terminal and type sudo apt-get build-dep wine
while you are downloading these dependencies, you will need to download
the source code for wine
Http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=664595
after you are done with installing the dependencies in the terminal,
open up a new one (you should extract the wine source in as the folder
in your home folder)
in the terminal type cd wine1.1.6 or whatever the folder is
Then type /.configure
this will take ~3 minutes
after that you will need to do make
which can take 1-3 hours, depending on you cpu
after that is completed, do sudo make install
just make sure you uninstalled your older version of wine just in case.

In line 5 of the above instruction, I opened a new shell. I extracted
the wine source into /home/steven/Desktop
It's name is wine-1.1.16.tar.bz2. At this point my inexperience has me
stopped. I tried cd to /home/steven/Desktop so I am currently in the
Desktop directory, but I am confused about what to type in next. if I
type in /.configure, I get the response: No such file or directory. If
I type in wine-1.1.16.tar.bz2, I get command not found.
My goal is to be able to install e-Sword in the end. But in Jaunty, I
have to follow the above instructions, and I am not able to understand
the instruction. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong. Thanks.
