#30734: Unable to install anything ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: wilburg@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.0.1 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by wilburg@…): After I installed XCode and macports I attempted an install of ncftp, with failure at installing ncursesw. When that failed, I tried another install and the screen I sent you was from that attempt. Here's the output from another attempt, preceded by uninstall/clean of any remnants of ncursesw: {{{ mini,:~ wilbur$ sudo port MacPorts 2.0.1 Entering interactive mode...
