Oh, well spotted. That was indeed causing the ncurses problem. I didn't think Macports would see it because it was under /usr rather than /opt. (It was actually a workaround for a problem I ran into a few months ago when compiling something that isn't in Macports.)
Unfortunately, files in /usr/local do interfere with MacPorts; see wiki:FAQ#usrlocal.
Ah, I see. It sounds like it might be time for me to learn how to create a port; that would probably have solved my problem in a cleaner way. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50129#comment:8> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
