Hi,

This is *not* a Mac dependent thing. If you are installing ncurses for the
*first* time (ie., there is absolutely no trace of any ncurses anywhere,
even pkg_delete does not clean it all out), then you will have this
problem. Once again, the crux of the problem is:

1) During the "install" process, the libraries are placed in

   /usr/pkg/include/ncurses

2) During the "post-install" process, the mv and sed expect the *.h
   file to be in 

   /usr/pkg/include

3) When the post-install process cannot find the *.h files in the place
   it expects, it barfs.

I cannot see how this is going to be a Mac dependent problem. You need to
test this on a system that has *never* had ncurses installed on it.

When 1.3 comes out, I will try installing ncurses on my Centris 650. I am
waiting for 1.3 to become finalk before I upgrade that one. BTW, the
ncurses package dies if you try to install it on 1.2x (mtree illegal
option -C). If I try to do a make && make install on the system where I
have already installed it, it will work and you will not learn anything.

Bob, as I noted above, this only happens when it is the first install of
ncurses. Doing a make clean, or even a pkg_delete does not clean it out
enough to reproduce the problem. You could go through and clean out all
ncurses files by hand and then you would see it.
