Hi everyone,

Alrighty, so I'm trying to build KDE. One of the many, many sub dependencies is gpsd. Here's the build log:

As you can see, it has to due with a missing ncurses. I installed the ncurses port, but that didn't change anything. Any thoughts?
 
Alrighty, so I got around the issue by going to /usr/ports/x11/kde4-workspace and removing the option for gpsd (since I don' t use a GPS on my desktop computer). This isn't a fix, it's just sidestepping around the issue, but it works so far. I'd be interested to know, though, if anyone else has this problem.
