Subject: ncurses-ruby install failing on OS X Snow Leopard

ncurses-ruby 1.2.4 is failing on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (ruby 1.9.1). I am
downloading the tar file from berlios.de and doing the extconf+make
routine.

The problem has been documented elsewhere but no fix/solution.

ncurses_wrap.c: In function ‘rbncurshelper_nonblocking_wgetch’:
ncurses_wrap.c:818: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
ncurses_wrap.c:835: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
ncurses_wrap.c:854: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make: *** [ncurses_wrap.o] Error 1

I have tried installing elliottcable-ncurses. This installs but many of
its own examples don't work. I get errors like

form.rb:21:in `<main>': undefined method `new_field' for
Ncurses::Form:Module (NoMethodError)

I get similar failures when trying to run my application.

(Btw, my app has been working for a long time on 1.9.1 on OS X Leopard
PPC).

Help appreciated.
