Did you try to install package for Slackware that can be downloaded from [1] (or you may use this direct download link to download it [2]). If not you can try this now. To install it on Slackware it is enough to run this command (as root):

installpkg wine-0.9.55-i486-1kjz.tgz

I'm not familiar with Slackware but I think this should work out-of-the-box (if this is not the case please describe what exactly doesn't work for you).
If you still have problems feel free to ask additional questions; in this case don't forget to give more details about your problem.

Also you may find useful "Installing and Configuring Software under Slackware
Linux" article [2], especially section related to WINE [3]. However please
note that this article may be somewhat out of date.
If you still have problems feel free to ask additional questions.

Run 'winecfg' in terminal.

Well there you go, that's your problem and the reason for the continual
crashes. You are running a glibc that does not have NPTL or TLS, and
you will need to upgrade glibc to a version that does have such
support. Or, configure the system correctly so that those libraries are
properly detected and used.

This is not a wine issue, it is a Slackware one. You stand a better
chance of finding out how to fix it by asking on the slack user
forums/lists

wine: creating configuration directory
'/root/.wine'...

Do not run wine as root
Do not run wine as root
Do not run wine as root

It opens the door to incredible amounts of destrucction and devastation
from Windows programs when they go wrong

I can't think of any valid reason, not even a debugging one, to run wine
as root.

No. Wine runs on *nix.

For 37 years *nix has worked on the basic assumption that users are
intelligent, they are not idiots and there is no need to protect them
from themselves. You are not supposed to do stupid things on *nix.

In short, running Wine as root is a deliberate action.
Solution: Just don't run the command that way.

Sort of. Wine detects if you run as a user different than the current
owner of the registry files. See also bug 10324:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10324

Should there be?

Maybe. However, some stuff requires being run as root (ICMP/etc). Most
of the time, you shouldn't but there are rare cases where it is
needed. Unless you know better than wine/your computer (and you
probably don't), then you shouldn't run wine as root (or anything else
not needing root privileges).

Of course, times have changed and more of the 'rest of us' are using
linux, with a lower barrier of entry than the older *nixes. In my
case, I got my Computer Science Degree out of the same Cracker Jack box
that my Law Degree and Medical License came from.

'rest of us'? Hmm.

So by implication, that seems to mean that most users in the last 37
years were smart enough to understand how *nix works, and most users
nowadays are not?

I'm afraid I disagree. You see, my day job is showing these very users
how *nix works. Guess what? They all get it. Except the occasional one,
but they are the ones that still can't tie their own shoelaces. You
only need to do two things to pull off this spectacular feat:

1. Assume that they can do it when shown
2. Actually SHOW THEM

I know it's an amazing leap of faith to go from wherever the world is
now to seeing that users really can think and understand stuff, but I
heartily recommend giving it a try.

This 'barrier to entry' of which you speak is, in my not so humble and
quite knowledgeable opinion, a purely fictitious one and is likely to
remain so for quite some time.

I'll switch my sarcasm-o-meter off now.

There is an ehancement for this. However, you should NEVER run a user
program as root. Many BAD things can and do happen if you do.

I don't expect much to happen prior to 1.0 to fix this situation.

Not to interrupt the ranting, but I thought I remember wine complaining
about root once.

Nonetheless, it does do some checking...

For the sudoers out there, you'll get:
wine: /home/tfino/.wine is not owned by you

Close enough if you ask me.

I don't expect much to happen prior to 1.0 to fix this situation.
