Thank you for this advice, but it changes, but does not cure the problem.
I modified ./ext/curses/extconf.rb.  Since there are three mentions of 
'have_library("curses","initscr")' in this file, I appended 'and 
have_library("termlib")' after each of them (I assume I should use 
'and'?).  the file is now:

{josef:36} cat extconf.rb
require 'mkmf'

dir_config('curses')
dir_config('ncurses')
dir_config('termcap')

make=false
have_library("mytinfo", "tgetent") if /bow/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM
if have_header("ncurses.h") and have_library("ncurses", "initscr") and 
have_library("termlib")
   make=true
elsif have_header("ncurses/curses.h") and have_library("ncurses", 
"initscr") and have_library("termlib")
   make=true
elsif have_header("curses_colr/curses.h") and have_library("cur_colr", 
"initscr")
   make=true
else
   have_library("termcap", "tgetent")
   if have_header("curses.h") and have_library("curses", "initscr") and 
have_library("termlib")
     make=true
   end
end

if make
   for f in %w(isendwin ungetch beep doupdate flash deleteln wdeleteln)
     have_func(f)
   end
   create_makefile("curses")
end

I then re-ran make, and got:

{josef:34} make

The problem references have now changed to mention libtermlib (used to 
be libcurses).

What now?

Thanks again for your help!

Nigel
