--------------------------+--------------------------------
 I just reinstalled MacPorts on Mac OS 10.7.3 after having to uninstall it
 a while ago (note: I know nothing about computers, possibly did this
 improperly). I'm trying to reinstall povray but I get the following error:

  "Error: org.macports.activate for port ncurses returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/70/p12 already exists and does not belong to a
 registered port.  Unable to activate port ncurses. Use 'port -f activate
 ncurses' to force the activation.
 Error: Failed to install ncurses
 Please see the log file for port ncurses for details:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_ncurses/ncurses/main.log"

 i have already tried this after sudo port uninstall ncurses and sudo port
 clean ncurses but it still doesn't work. i'm sure i'm doing something
 silly and would be grateful for any help, thanks!
