Re: wine error?..

I don't know about the rest of it, but the first line is pretty clear -- you should install ncurses/lib32-ncurses (depending on whether you're on i686 or x86_64).

Re: wine error?..

How did you install wine?

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Re: wine error?..

If you are on i686, you shouldn't (and shouldn't be able to) install lib32-ncurses.

Can you post your pacman.conf?

Re: wine error?..

When did you enable multilib?  Are you sure you are running i686?  The output of `uname -a` would help specify that.  If you are running i686 there should be no way you could have installed lib32-ncurses with pacman as that directory is empty on the mirrors.
