This annoying issue occurs when UPCP runs or /script/upcp is run manually.
The following error will be displayed;

CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GI/GIRAFFED/Curses-1.14.tgz
GEN function: not applicable
PANELS functions: not enabled
MENUS functions: not enabled
FORMS functions: not enabled
Making a guess for $inc and/or $libs...
Guesses: includes '', libs '-lcurses -ltermcap' Curses type bsd
Making a guess for "c-config.h"...
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a hints file that was configured for
your OS (named hints/c-freebsd.h). You will need to create and configure a
"c-config.h" file for yourself. Please see the "INSTALL"
directions
for pointers on how to do this.
make: no target to make.
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Curses::UI is up to date (0.95).
This issue is caused by a bug in the installation process on FreeBSD. To fix this issue, a manual installation is necessary!;
To fix this issue so upcp stops complaining and so curses gets upgraded properly, perform the following steps;
CODE
cd /home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GI/GIRAFFED/
[B]type; ls -la and search for the version of Curses in the current directory. The version on my server is Curses-1.14.tgz.[/B]
tar -zxvf Curses-1.14.tgz
cd Curses-1.14
ln -s hints/c-freebsd.ncurses.h c-config.h
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Curses installed. Upcp should stop complaining from here in.
