In FreeBSD's base system you are not supposed to install anything directly from the 'contrib' tree, and neither from 'crypto'. 'libncurses', for instance, has to be built and installed from '/usr/src/lib/libncurses', like so: (clean up /usr/obj) make obj && make depend && make make install (clean up /usr/obj) That's how it is in FreeBSD 4.x at least. Can't tell, though, whether the path names are still the same in 5.x. Hope it works for you, too.
