Cannot install ncurses with OS X mavericks

[feranick@…]

I updated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and followed the macports migration procedure as described in the user guide. I am using the current macports 2.2.0, compiled from source. Upon trying to install ncurses, the installation fails. This is the log:

Apologizes for the bad formatting of the log. I attached a text file with the log with the correct formatting.

Please use MacPorts trunk for Mavericks; MacPorts 2.2.0 is not supported on Mavericks.

Attach the complete log please.

Works for me on Mavericks with MacPorts trunk, by the way.

[feranick@…]

Yes, it does work after I compile the version from trunk. I guess this report can be closed.

Bug appears to be back today.

Completely removed MacPorts + Upgraded to Mavericks + Installed Mavericks Macports package.

David-MacBookAir# port version

This seems to be the fix.

xcrun --show-sdk-version must return the correct version - 10.9 - and if not, then execute xcode-select --install selecting first install XCode + install command line tools.

Whew...

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Yes, MacPorts still requires Xcode and the command line tools, as it always has.
