 Building fails on FreeBSD 8.2-stable with current Ports with the error as
 documented in the attachment.


 To fix this, I went to libraries/terminfo and executed there:

 ./configure --with-curses-includes=/usr/include --with-curses-
 libraries=/usr/lib

 Then I deleted manually all .o, .a, .so files in this directory (make
 clean there does a global clean, which is a bug as well), ran make there
 and went back to the toplevel build directoy, where I entered the
 following command manually:

 "inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" -o ghc/stage2/build/tmp/ghc-stage2   -H32m -O
 -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib   -hide-all-packages -i -ighc/.
 -ighc/stage2/build -ighc/stage2/build/autogen -Ighc/stage2/build

 ghc/stage2/build/GhciMonad.o ghc/stage2/build/GhciTags.o
 ghc/stage2/build/hschooks.o

 (note the changed -L and -I parameters)

 Then I ran make again and building continues successfully.

 To fix someone should add some ncurses tweaks to the main configure
 script.
