Gawk is the MacPorts version. Which gawk returns /opt/local/bin/gawk. Which sh returns /bin/sh. I've never installed any unusual shells. As stated in my previous message, I have already run port clean ncursesw and port install ncursesw, that's what results in the error. I really appreciate the help. Thanks! John

I have reformatted the terminal output to resemble what I see on- screen. Does this tell anyone anything? Is there a clue here? What is "Illegal instruction ${AWK-awk}" in line 34? Thanks for any help, sorry for being ignorant.
try installing gawk (GNU awk) from ports (port install gawk) and re- do the install.
run port clean ncursesw && port install ncursesw and let us know what happens.
But no: the lines in John's output starting with "AWK=gawk" show that gawk is already installed on his system. But John, I can't get the ncurses/ncursesw install to fail on my MacBook Pro, with or without gawk installed. Either way, it installs just fine.
First question: how is gawk installed on your system? With MacPorts, or with Fink, or manually? What does "which gawk" say? What about sh? Do you have a weird version of sh installed somewhere? What does "which sh" say?
