Hi Roberth,

This is what the error means:

The program executer can't find the library "libncursesw.so.6", which 
the binary "nano" needs to be available. If I understand this right, 
that means the shared library for ncursesw built for FreeBSD 6.

I would start looking in the ports tree for "ncurses", "ncursesw" and 
the like. If there's a port named "ncursesw" or "libncursesw", I would 
guess that's your missing library right there.
