vile does not declare dependency on ncurses while it obviously should.

Workaround:

$ sudo port install ncurses vile

comment:2 Changed 16 years ago by tomhirashima@…

i already seem to have ncurses installed. issuing the workaround command returns "Skipping org.macports.activate (ncurses ) since this port is already active". have tried this on two different machines with similar ports installed (wget and optipng being the only ones, with dependencies).

Summary: build of vile on leopard 10.5.3 failedconfigure of vile on leopard 10.5.3 failed: -lncurses not found

Added the missing deps in r72212. The port now configures successfully, though it still fails to build for other reasons.
