install arch +universal (WINE)

[justindesantis@…]

Hi folks, I'm trying to get WINE working. I looked on another thread and tried installing flex +universal and arch +universal.

When I try to install Wine this is what I get/.

Justin$ sudo port install wine
Error: Cannot install wine for the arch(s) 'i386' because
Error: its dependency libpng is only installed for the arch 'x86_64'
Error: and does not have a universal variant.
Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch

I do have the universal version of flex installed as per:

Justin$ port variants arch
arch has the variants:
   universal: Build for multiple architectures

and

Justin$ sudo port install arch +universal
--->  Configuring arch
Error: org.macports.configure for port arch returned: configure failure: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port arch for details:

Duplicate of #35344. Please "sudo port selfupdate" and try again.

In the error message, the word "arch" is short for the word "architecture", meaning what processor type you have; it has nothing to do with the port called "arch", nor is there any need for you to install the port called "arch" to fix this.
