Hi William,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I finally got back around to playing with this again. Here are the answers to your questions:
>gem list --local | grep curse
ncurses (0.9.1)
The test script prints:
true
The ncurses examples all seem to work and display color. I did have to edit them to add require 'rubygems' at the top.
I also tried playing with the sup code a bit. If I comment out lines 133-4 in lib/sup/colormap.rb:
# Curses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError,
# "couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})"
sup loads, but everything is in black and white and a bit difficult to read. I also tried uncommenting that, then changing Curses to Ncurses so it looks like this:
Nurses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError,
"couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})"
sup loads with that as well, and displays some color, but most of the screen is unreadable (I'm guessing it's displaying as white text on white background).
Any ideas? I tried changing more things from Curses to Ncurses, but that quickly started generating method undefined errors.
Thanks!
Dan

should tell you.)
What does this program print?
require 'rubygems'
require 'ncurses'
x = begin
Ncurses::initscr();
Ncurses::has_colors?()
ensure
Ncurses::endwin();
end
puts x
If it prints true, then, if you look in the contents of the gem
(wherever that is on your system), there should be an examples/
directory. If you run examples/tlock.rb or examples/rain.rb, (probably
with ruby -rubygems), do you see color?
