I missed that error, thanks.  Only problem is I already have ncurses
installed...  I did find other people that had the same issue here is an
interesting chat from irc I found logged:

[10:38:18] <dre^> hmm,  I wonder why BitchX can't find ncurses/termcap.h
when it's compiling, even though checking for ncurses/termcap.h... yes
when configuring...
[10:38:54] <dre^> and it is actually there at
/opt/local/include/ncurses/termcap.h
[10:39:07] <Ed__> dre^: -I/opt/local/include is passed to the compiler?
[10:40:40] <dre^> checking...
[10:41:42] <dre^> this appears to be an environment inheritance
problem...
[10:41:57] <dre^> DEBUG: Environment: CXXFLAGS='-O2'
CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include' CFLAGS='-DBIND_8_COMPAT -g -O2 -O2'
LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib'
[10:42:01] <dre^> not sticking, obviously
[10:44:19] <dre^> yeah it's totally not getting
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include, though the other ones are there... odd
[10:47:24] <dre^> gonna try adding it to configure.env in the Portfile
[10:49:11] <dre^> le sigh
[10:50:49] <dre^> the BitchX makefile has includedir = ${prefix}/include
[10:51:13] <mgrimes> hmph Failed to execute WebDAV PROPPATCH: At least
one property change failed; repository is unchanged

[10:52:15] <dre^> build proper on my macbook pro, however...
[10:52:20] <dre^> *builds
[10:54:37] *** grahamperrin has joined #macports
[10:54:43] <dre^> though no ncurses is installed on the mbp

[11:16:09] <pbx> Why is there a py25-sqlite3 port?
[11:16:32] <pbx> "Python bindings to sqlite3"
[11:16:41] <pbx> Python 2.5 has SQLite bindings built in...
[11:19:01] <dre^> ah, confirmed that bitchx build fails if ncurses is
installed
[11:19:06] * dre^ files a bug


Perhaps I should uninstall ncurses, install bitchx then reinstall
ncurses? Ugh, dependents too...  Was there ever a bug filed for this?
Can anyone do me the favor who does't have ncurses installed and give it
a whirl before I go uninstall all these ports?  Thanks.
