I just did a triple check, and I've got inside: /opt/local/share/terminfo/2 these files (case sensitive): 2621 2621-wl 2621A 2621a Very interesting. I hope this is helpful. My boss has, as a rule, that we always use case sensitive (HFSX) file systems for volumes we mount to our XServes so its probably a good thing he is so strict because it helped me find this nuance with ncursesw and can therefore help the MacPorts community. Also, as a note, Mac OS X Server 10.5 (and I think also Mac OS X 10.5) can now be installed with the HFSX case sensitive option for boot disc volume (this is a first if I'm not mistaken as it was not available in Tiger to do so for boot discs).
