Given the other thread on how ncursesw cures those odd character strings, I've revisited this myself and I wonder if I could get suggestions. >>>> user@computer:$ sudo gem install ncursesw Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing ncursesw: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb checking for unistd.h... yes checking for locale.h... yes checking for ncurses.h... yes checking for wmove() in -lncursesw... no checking for wmove() in -lpdcurses... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. <<<< Can anyone tell me where mkmf.log will be? Not in the directory where I ran gem install. I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 -- is that the problem? -- It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -- Kehlog Albran, "The Profit"
