 Hi,
 I've updated Xcode, recently updated to El Capitan, downloaded the newest
 version of macports, installed, etc.
 The purpose was to run GLD (IDL free version).
 I get the following:

 {{{
 ~: gdl
 dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libform.5.dylib
   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/gdl
   Reason: image not found
 Trace/BPT trap: 5
 }}}

 Then I tried downloading GDL sourcr code, and when i do the cmake .. it
 says I don't have a wxWidgets library.
 So I downloaded wxWidgets, and that's proving to be cumbersome too, as the
 make is failing to produce certain files, because when I do "sudo make
 install" it can't find some stuff it should have created with the make.

 What a maze. I had everything running before these new updates. I didn't
 remember it being this complicated. Help!

 My next idea is that I need the older version of that dylib, or ncurses5.
 Again, no idea if I can install this on itself, I would have expected the
 OSX to have installed this stuff already. And if it is a path anything
 like the wxWidgets path I was trying, I won't be able to carry on, it will
 fail.

 Thank you.

Comment:

 You're correct that libform is part of ncurses. The problem is simply that
 ncurses was recently updated to version 6. So /opt/local/bin/gdl needs to
 be rebuilt with the new ncurses.

 You should merely need to run:

 {{{
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 The curious thing, though, is that this change was made in r139469 which
 predates the release of OS X 10.11 El Capitan so I'm confused as to how
 you are running into this problem. If selfupdating and upgrading outdated
 ports doesn't fix it, then certainly running rev-upgrade will:

 {{{
 sudo port rev-upgrade
 }}}
