It didn't happen at all. Uninstalling Wine depends on the way you installed it. The reason doing: sudo port uninstall wine or sudo port uninstall wine-devel didn't work is that you don't have MacPorts installed. And installing it won't help because you didn't use it to install Wine. See http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-2e99ab665e3b15d1880eff2bcbb640b2d5839586 to find out how to uninstall Wine in general. But why do you want to uninstall Wine in the first place? If it's because you trashed your WINEPREFIX, then you realize that you can just delete it, right? See http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-cf92baf0d9ee0ef112a680b45ac21805caaf9c0a for details.
which os? port? freeBSD? there might be special command to remove ports? Anyway on openSuse I compile the source ( readme ) and simply remove by: "make uninstall" in the source dir. if you don't have the source dir you could search for wine: "whereis wine" and delete manually those files. Like that all programs in HOME/.wine could remain.
HI.....I can't say whether I can provide you the information to your question but can post my experience regarding wine installation in linux. sudo apt-get install wine You could also use Synaptic (available in the menus somewhere) to search for it and install it.

I doubt that these systems use the same commands. >The question is: How did he install Wine in the first place. If it was either Fink or MacPorts, the appropriate uninstall command needs to be issued: sudo port uninstall Wine fink purge Wine If he used WineBottler, then he will have to open the Applications folder and drag the WineBottler application to the Trash. There may be files left in the <user name>/Library/Application Support folder which can be opened on the Finder navigation menu and opening the appropriate folders and then dragging and dropping the Wine or WineBottler folders to the trash. However, the question is why does the OP want to delete Wine in the first place? All of the applications above will run an updater to bring Wine to the current version without deinstallation of an existing installed Wine. James McKenzie
