Oops - first apology necessary for the lack of a subject in my
earlier mail. Blush.
Sorry guys - I normally think more carefully before I hit "send"!

I'm relatively new to Macs, so please forgive me if I'm doing
something stupid. I'm having problems installing ncurses with

port -dv gives me *lots* of output, but the last bit reads:

I've tried doing a "port clean --all ncurses", but I get exactly
the same thing afterwards.
I'd be very grateful for any pointers to what I'm doing wrong, or
how to debug further.
Many thanks.
