 My machine is a 2007 MacMini with a 1.66 GHx Intel Core Duo running OS-X
 10.6.8.  I have done a clean install of XCode 3.2.6 and MacPorts 2.0.1.  I
 have been totally unable to get anything to install with MacPorts.  For
 example, the command:

 "sudo port install ncftp" yields the following:

 {{{
 sh-3.2# sudo port install ncftp

 appear to exist (cannot lstat it).  Unable to activate port ncursesw.
 Error: Failed to install ncursesw
 Log for ncursesw is at:
