Comment(by jackie.MacOSX@…):

 I could install the ncurses without variant "+universal"  but coufigure
 failed with variant "+universal" by macports.

 [ jackie macbook-pro ~ ]# sudo port install ncurses
 --->  Computing dependencies for ncurses

 --->  Staging ncurses into destroot
 --->  Installing ncurses @5.9_0
 --->  Deactivating ncurses @5.8_1+universal
 --->  Activating ncurses @5.9_0
 --->  Cleaning ncurses

 Because there're many packages's dependency on the ncurses in macports.
 All the packages are compiled with "+universal" variants then causing the
 configure necurse failed.

 for example：install the bzr-git then configure ncurses failed.
