Comment (by macleod@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
 > It could be that all the ports that succeeded were fetched as binaries,
 while for ghostscript a binary was not available so it tried to build from
 source, and it's the source download that's having a problem. That would
 also point to the system curl library working ok, since binary downloads
 also use curl.

 interfere with terminal activities more advanced than just printing text?
 Are you for example connected via ssh or are you using `screen`? Both of
 those work for me, but if you're doing anything like that, try running the
 command directly without those instead. Or if you're using a shell other
 than bash, try using bash.

 get tiresome if you have to do that for every port that downloads source.

 Thanks, I just tried something I have never had to do before.  I usually
 use Eterm as my terminal window but I ran the same port command from the
 standard Apple Terminal window and it worked!  curl was suddenly able to
 download ghostscript and things are chugging along again.

 Wow weird is that!?
 Thanks for the suggestion!!
