I am running OSX 10.4.9 on ppc and have run selfupdate. This error has been happening for well over a month I get the same error with freetype (Makefile:54: *** target pattern contains no `%'. ) and I think a few other ports. I have done full cleans.
I haven't heard of this problem before... I have no problem installing ncursesw or freetype on 10.4.9 on PowerPC or Intel. Do you have the latest version of Xcode, 2.4.1? If not, get it from Apple Developer Connection. Searching for this error on Google I get this message: http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2005-02/thread01024-0.html It seems that this error can occur if your path contains a colon, and it looks like yours does: /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.macports.org: 873_dpupdate_dports_devel_ncursesw We need to get that colon out of there. How did it get there? Did you change your rsync definition in /opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf to include a colon and the port number? If so, remove that again.
