Last night I attempted to build misc/pinfo on FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE amd64, but it found ncurses not usable for whatever reason.
I had something like that previously, about three years ago. Should I include the whole config.log (87869 bytes)? Briefly, error was checking whether to build shared libraries... yes checking whether to build static libraries... yes configure: checking location of readline.h file... Found readline on /usr/local/include/readline/readline.h checking for readline version... 7 checking location of curses.h file... /usr/local/include/ncurses/ncurses.h checking if curses is usable... no configure: error: Curses not found. You need curses to compile pinfo ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly. Please report the problem to po...@freebsd.org [maintainer] and attach the "/BETA1/usr/ports/misc/pinfo/work11/pinfo-0.6.10/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -g -Ea). *** Error code 1 Stop. I could also ask what other info file viewers there are, better than the GNU info that was formerly part of FreeBSD base system. When I was using Linux Slackware, Konqueror had a good info viewer, but I don't want to have to build and install KDE. I didn't like Emacs' info viewer when I tried that years ago but haven't run Emacs recently.
