Description adsouza 2001-02-11 16:30:00 UTC 
When I attempt to make gnomeutils, I get the following error and many more like it:

lib_vidattr.o(.text+0x8a6): undefined reference to `_nc_outch'
/usr/local/lib/libncurses.a(lib_vidattr.o): In function `termattrs':
lib_vidattr.o(.text+0x8ba): undefined reference to `cur_term'
lib_vidattr.o(.text+0x8cd): undefined reference to `cur_term'
lib_vidattr.o(.text+0x8e1): undefined reference to `cur_term'

How-To-Repeat: Try to compile gnomeutils on a 4.2-stable box

This looks like a localized problem -- what little information you give 
suggests that you have a bad/old ncurses lying around -- possibly you have 
the ncurses port installed as well as it being in the base system. 

In the absence of any other information, and given that this port is building 
elsewhere (including the package-building cluster) all I can suggest is you 
cvsup your ports and src trees, ensure that you have things up-to-date in 
src/ land first (both userland and kernel), remove any ncurses port that 
you have installed, and try again.

Submitter confirms that this was due to the ncurses package being 
installed.  Guess my crystal ball is working today :)
