wine users - Jan 2010 - Wine Installation issues on Snow Leopard

Firstly, hello and thank you for attempting to come to my rescue, I am in need
of your assistance.  With that said please let me share this problem in hopes of
a possible solution.

Recently, I installed and configured MacPorts successfully.  However I receive a
warning from my terminal when I try and install wine using MacPorts.  I command
my terminal as follows - sudo port install wine-devel.  It seems to recognize
the command because it then asks for a password, I insert the correct password. 
Then my terminal responds:
Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
Error: Port wine-devel not found
Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get
complete output.

I am a terminal abecedarian and I do not understand what -d flag means.  Nor do
I know how to sync my source indexes.  Why can't terminal find Port
wine-devel? How can I achieve these terms my terminal commands of me?

Lastly, you should know, I have every system requirement to support Wine on my
Macbook Pro.  Intel processor, access to admin account with password, Apple
Xcode and X11.  All of the versions of software are compatible with my OS, Snow
Leopard 6.2, and they are currently updated. Thank you for your time and
consideration, as it is greatly appreciated.

Well there's your problem!

First you need to run:

sudo port sync

from the command line. Then you can install the wine-devel port.

you didn't follow the complete directions for installing Macports

http://www.macports.org/install.php

did you do the last part....


Code:
sudo port selfupdate

 ??

if so and it errors, or you still get those errors, you might have a firewall
issue, but I'd suspect you didn't get it done.

Thank you for your helping me sync my sources.  When I use the above command,
terminal asks for my password then processes for a little while and responds:
Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
port sync failed: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed
