postgresql93: dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib

[EJFielding (Eric Fielding)]

I ran a port upgrade outdated, and it tried to upgrade postgis2. The postgis2 is set to add +postgresql93, so it tried to build postgresql93 (postgresql93-9.3.10_0), which failed to build. I attach the log

This was on OS X 10.9.5, my other 10.10.5 machine did not have an error.

The config.log says:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.6.dylib
  Reason: image not found

That is similar to but slightly different from ProblemHotlist#ncurses6.

The library /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib should exist. Does it? If not, does a different libncurses library version exist (which one)? Which version of the ncurses port installed? (port installed ncurses)

[EJFielding (Eric Fielding)]

Thanks for the help. It seems that I have a different version activated:

% port installed ncurses
The following ports are currently installed:
  ncurses @5.9_2 (active)
  ncurses @6.0_0
% ls /opt/local/lib/libncurses*
/opt/local/lib/libncurses++.a		/opt/local/lib/libncurses.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libncurses++w.a		/opt/local/lib/libncursesw.5.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib	/opt/local/lib/libncursesw.a
/opt/local/lib/libncurses.a		/opt/local/lib/libncursesw.dylib

I was able to just "port activate ncurses @6.0_0" to get the /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib installed. Now MacPorts has successfully rebuilt postgresql93 and postgis2.

Thanks again.
