Hi Radosław,

my wrapper requires ffi-0.2.0 which you'll need to install from
source. You can get the source from the kenai project site at
http://kenai.com/projects/ruby-ffi (though you'll need to install
mercurial to get it).

The example ex01-ffi-dl-stdscr.rb does not currently work under Linux
- I'm looking into that. The only platform I know it works on is Mac
OS X Tiger. The other examples work on both OS X and Linux (with
ffi-0.2.0).

Regards,
Sean
