It can be a bit involved. A good start would be reading the WINE
documentation availible online at http://www.winehq.org
They may even have a FAQ and HOWTO hiding in there somewhere.
You should also go review some of the WINE discussions from this list by
going here http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ and typing 'WINE'
into the search bar. In general, it's considered polite to search the
archives before asking here, as that can help cut down on repeat
questions and make the active traffic more relevant.
In particular, the description of where to find an rpm that's already
been tweaked to get around the bug with prelink is:
http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc1/RPMS.newrpms/

Menu->System Tools->Terminal to open a terminal window, if you don't
have one open already.
Become root using the "su" command, then run the following:
"ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/"
If your Java isn't under /usr/java/j2re1.4.2, adjust as neccessary.
As a newbie, you may enjoy the following 'intro to Linux' document:
