Christoph,
Thanks for your answer.

I am wondering, if this could have something to do with the simultaneous
presence of libncurses in base system and ports?

ldconfig -r | grep libncurses
	29:-lncursesw.8 => /lib/libncursesw.so.8
	30:-lncurses.8 => /lib/libncurses.so.8
	1127:-lncursesw.5 => /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.5
	1277:-lncurses.5 => /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5

In astro/gpsd file 'SConstruct', lines 450--465 it seems, they try to
test for the right version of ncurses ...
