I am surprised to hear that ncurses-ruby is not working or the include 
Ncurses is not working.

All my work uses ruby-ncurses as a base. Yes, there are a couple of 
things I have come across that were buggy - which I have pointed out on 
this forum.
Sadly there seems to be no maintainer for it -- have posted bugs but no 
response. But these are very minor and probably no one uses those 
things.

Please install the gem and then try the samples. Feel free to ask me 
anything - I just might be able to help and save you time, and am glad 
to answer.

oh, btw, just wondering -- is the basic curses that comes with ruby 
working on your system.

Also, I believe I have done extensive and thorough searching on ncurses 
and ruby  (2 months ago) and whatever libraries or wrappers I could find 
were long abandoned or had not released code.

Cheers,
Sent.
