ncurses does not install /opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib

While trying to install ocaml I get:

/opt/local/lib has only these ncurses related libraries:

When I try to invoke (/opt/local/bin/)vi I get:

ncurses was recently updated to version 6.0 which installs /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib so ports such as ocaml and vim (which provides ${prefix}/bin/vi) and many more needed a revbump at a minimum to relink with the new version.

Both ocaml and vim were so bumped in r139469 so perhaps you need to update your ports?

llvm-3.4 was also rev bumped.

My version of port neither does understand an update command nor a revdump.

Ocaml and vim were listed as outdated, but port decided not to upgrade them but create problems instead. Does port need an update?

Sorry. Failure to communicate. By 'revbump' I mean incrementing the revision of a port to cause it to rebuild, in this case due to the revision change of libncurses. This has already been done.

Now you just need to issue the command

sudo port selfupdate

to synchronize your ports tree with the latest versions/revisions on the rsync server. This is what I meant by 'update your ports'.

Once you've done that you can execute

sudo port upgrade outdated

to upgrade your outdated ports.

Sorry for not being more precise in my language. My fault entirely.

I performed exactly these two steps yesterday – and ran into this disaster. Presumingly port needs an upgrade, performing the necessary rebinding to a new library once the old version was removed and the new one was installed instead of procrastinating the faulty state.
