I've been using an old PowerPC Mac. I got a new Intel one running
Leopard (10.6.2) but got an error trying to install sup. Everything is
a fresh install. The only thing I've done is install the Xcode tools.
The error (below sig) looks like a problem with ncurses. Looking around
at the mkmf.log file (attached), I see more issues with curses: no
wmove(), no libpdcurses.
The ruby installed is 1.8.7. gem is 1.3.1.
I recreated this by copying the little test program with the wmove() in
it. When I tried to build it with -lncursesw, it failed because that
lib doesn't exist but it did work with -lncurses (without the 'w'). So
I just made a symlink:
guava:/usr/lib>ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.dylib /usr/lib/libncursesw.dylib
That works. Now gem install sup works. But I'm not sure that's the
best fix. Anyway, it looks like the problem is in gem install ncursesw
and not in gem install sup but I thought you might like to know about
this.
Thanks,
John
