In trying to build emacs (9.2-stable) (ports svn as of this morning, but
one from a few weeks ago does this too) I get the following:

checking for posix_openpt... yes
checking for library containing tputs... no
configure: error: The required function `tputs' was not found in any library.
The following libraries were tried (in order):
  libtinfo, libncurses, libterminfo, libtermcap, libcurses
Please try installing whichever of these libraries is most appropriate
for your system, together with its header files.
For example, a libncurses-dev(el) or similar package.
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to ash...@freebsd.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/e/var/portbld/usr/ports/editors/emacs/work/emacs-24.3/config.log" including
the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea
to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a
/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -g -Ea).
*** [do-configure] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/editors/emacs.
*** [stage] Error code 1


Given that ncurses is in the base system, and just in case I installed
the port ncurses also, and this
still happens.  Something is wrong in ./configure.  (I notice that the
"for example" references redhat :-)
