Problems with "insufficient rights" to activate ncurses port. But I'm the administrator on my computer — at Version 1

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

The error in trying to install wine using the sudo command is below. Ncurses seems to be the problem.

I tried evey line of code on the problem hotlist to try and fix it. But nothing has changed.

Here's my selection of code, with what I inputed in bold
