pin It can be a PITA to build.
I found that out the hard way. Installed with pkgin and all is well.
However, following the advice in the README for ncspot :
By default ncspot is built using the Rodio backend. To make it use the PortAudio backend (e.g. for *BSD or macOS), you need to recompile ncspot with the portaudio_backend feature:
cargo run --no-default-features --features portaudio_backend,cursive/pancurses-backend
I installed portaudio because it wasn't installed already, but now I get a build error:
error: failed to run custom build command for `ncurses v5.99.0`
Caused by:
process didn't exit successfully: `/home/dave/Downloads/ncspot/target/debug/build/ncurses-cca56809b8b206f2/build-script-build` (exit code: 101)

error: build failed
I installed ncurses-6.2, cleaned the build directory and tried again and got the same error.
