Hi Ryan,

I installed ncurses and ncursesw on my PowerBook G4 last week. I have just about the same output as you do.
On a PowerPC Mac (a Xserve actually) I get the expected paths, not the long ones above.
This breaks other software that I'm trying to install on my MacBook Pro (10.4.8 with the latest updates). I'm using a fresh install of MacPorts, updated to the latest version. Your help is appreciated.
In what way is this broken? Is the problem that it is listing a path in the work directory that no longer exists? What problems do you encounter when trying to install other software -- what error messages appear?
It breaks installation of other software. E.g. swi-prolog breaks at the configure phase because the work path above no longer exists.
Do you know what changes need to be made to ncurses (or ncursesw) to solve the problem?
Not sure that the problem lies in the portfiles of ncurses(w). It could be a problem with MacPorts on Intel Macs. Thanks for your feedback.
