Hi,
I'm trying to install ncurses through macports. After running
'sudo port -v install ncurses' I get the following:
[...]
/bin/sh ./run_tic.sh
** Building terminfo database, please wait...
Running tic to install /opt/local/var/macports/build/
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync
.macports.org_release_ports_devel_ncurses/work/destroot/opt/local/
share/terminfo ...
You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX.
These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled
using
tic -x
If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL
document, and install the terminfo without the -x option.
And then nothing... Running 'top' I can see that tic is taking
~90% of the CPU. But it never stops it just goes on for hours and
hours with no output or nothing.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 (8S165) on a PPC iMac Snow with macports
version 1.600.
Thanks,
David Arve
Same thing here under 10.5.5 on Intel. After cleaning and first
installing ncursesw, installed OK.
MacPorts does not upgrade dependencies before installing something
(that's a long standing bug).
ncurses terminfo database come from ncursesw, so you need to upgrade
ncursesw first (their versions need to be the same).
sudo port upgrade ncursesw
sudo port install ncurses
Regards.
