 After installing emacs (Emacs 23.3.1) via ports on an iMac. Emacs cannot
 be opened because it cannot open the termcap database file. If I
 understand correctly this error occurs when emacs is compiled without
 ncurses, which is a dependency of emacs. But ncurses and ncursesw are both
 installed correctly as dependencies, as they should be. This opens the
 possibility that emacs is not linking ncurses correctly during
 compilation. Comparing the emacs packages between the Apple provided and
 MacPorts I find that the 'termcap.src' file is present in the
 '/usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc' Apple installation, whereas the equivalent
 file is absent in the MacPorts '/opt/local/share/emacs/23.3/etc'
 equivalent directory.
