Hi

I have filed this in the bug database.

http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/ruby-bugs/incoming?id=136

This is the text from my posting in the database. It is fairly simple 
to fix this. See below.

If I build Ruby on Mac OS X in this way

% ./configure
% make

I get the following message

cc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp  -I/Users/johan/Desktop/ruby-1.6.3
-I/Users/johan/Desktop/ruby-1.6.3 -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_WDELETELN  -c
curses.c
curses.c: In function `window_maxy':
curses.c:581: structure has no member named `_maxy'
curses.c: In function `window_maxx':
curses.c:602: structure has no member named `_maxx'
curses.c: In function `window_begy':
curses.c:620: structure has no member named `_begy'
curses.c: In function `window_begx':
curses.c:637: structure has no member named `_begx'
make[1]: *** [curses.o] Error 1


This is beacuse in the file

ext/curses/curses.c

There is a few lines to check which version of curses is used and on Mac OS X
which is partly at least a BSD unix variant

#  if (defined(__bsdi__) || defined(__NetBSD__)) && !defined(_maxx)
#   define _maxx maxx
#  endif
#  if (defined(__bsdi__) || defined(__NetBSD__)) && !defined(_maxy)
#   define _maxy maxy
#  endif
#  if (defined(__bsdi__) || defined(__NetBSD__)) && !defined(_begx)
#   define _begx begx
#  endif
#  if (defined(__bsdi__) || defined(__NetBSD__)) && !defined(_begy)
#   define _begy begy
#  endif

These lines should check if it is Mac OS X which is being compiled.
If I just add the define-macros after this segment will ruby compile fine under
Mac OS X. Like this:

#   define _maxx maxx
#   define _maxy maxy
#   define _begx begx
#   define _begy begy
