libncursesw.so linker script syntax error?

[Keith Beattie]

Hello,

I'm having trouble building both the emacs and aspell port, both of which fail with a very similar error.  Here's aspell:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=link c++  -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -march=native -fno-exceptions   -o aspell prog/aspell.o prog/check_funs.o prog/checker_string.o libaspell.la -lncursesw -L/usr/local/lib -lintl -L/usr/local/lib -liconv -R/usr/local/lib 
libtool: link: c++ -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -march=native -fno-exceptions -o .libs/aspell prog/aspell.o prog/check_funs.o prog/checker_string.o  ./.libs/libaspell.so -L/usr/local/lib -lncursesw /usr/local/lib/libintl.so /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
/usr/bin/ld:/usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script

Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/aspell.


emacs is similar except on libncurses.so

Here's libncursesw.so:

$ cat /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so
INPUT(libncursesw.so.5 AS_NEEDED(-ltinfow))

I've tried rebuilding the ncurses port, but that hasn't helped.

Other info:

Any suggestions welcome.
