While trying to install libmemcached via MacPorts, I hit the following issue: libmemcached @0.40 +universal ---> Computing dependencies for libmemcached ---> Dependencies to be installed: cyrus-sasl2 kerberos5 ---> Configuring kerberos5 Error: org.macports.configure for port kerberos5 returned: configure failure: command execution failed Error: Failed to install kerberos5 It tells me to look in the log for details. Here's the last bit of the log file: :info:configure checking for setupterm in -lcurses... no :info:configure checking for setupterm in -lncurses... no :info:configure checking for tgetent... no :info:configure configure: error: Could not find tgetent; are you missing a curses/ncurses library? :info:configure configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for appl/telnet :info:configure Command failed: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_kerberos5/kerberos5/work/krb5-1.7.2/src" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --disable-dependency-tracking --mandir=/opt/local/share/man :info:configure Exit code: 1 :error:configure org.macports.configure for port kerberos5 returned: configure failure: command execution failed :debug:configure Error code: NONE :debug:configure Backtrace: configure failure: command execution failed while executing "$procedure $targetname" :info:configure Warning: targets not executed for kerberos5: org.macports.activate org.macports.configure org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install :error:configure Failed to install kerberos5 :debug:configure Registry error: kerberos5 not registered as installed & active. invoked from within "registry_active ${subport}" invoked from within "$workername eval registry_active \${subport}" :notice:configure Please see the log file for port kerberos5 for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_kerberos5/kerberos5/main.log It seems to say it's missing ncurses. Looks like it's there though, since if I run port installed I see these: ncurses @5.7_0 ncurses @5.9_1 (active) ncursesw @5.7_0 Any ideas on how to get around this error?
