Either run it in a virtual machine, or find another app that runs in Linux. Clearly its not compatible with WINE and since apple doesn't offer a native Linux version your options are limited.

Short of a Windows VM (which is a huge waste of system resources if you're only using it for iTunes), you're not going to get iTunes on Linux. Banshee is a solid iTunes replacement - even supports iOS devices.
