as far as I know you get this error if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set correctly. 
try running wine with:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/whereYouInstalledWINE/lib wine regedit

then it should work. but I'm confused, that wine can start excel when you
get
the above error running regedit :-?

I just starting using wine; I mostly need it to run Excel, which is what I 
run when I get this warning:

ERROR: You need to merge the 'winedefault.reg' file into your
       Wine registry by running: `regedit winedefault.reg'

Excel starts and seems to run OK, apart from not being able to save, which 
is another problem for another post.

OK, so I do as I am told, and then get the following error:

/usr/lib/wine/bin/wine: error while loading shared libraries: 
libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have libwine.so.1; do I need to change its permissions or something?

All help appreciated.

You are using out of date and/or broken Wine packages, please consider
installing the latest Wine release from the source tarballs available from
WineHQ.
