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.
