I got following error when i try to install ncurses on windows.

C:\>gem install ncurses
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ncurses:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
        --with-make-prog
        --srcdir=.
        --curdir
        --ruby=D:/ruby/bin/ruby
extconf.rb:35: ncurses header file not found (RuntimeError)


Gem files will remain installed in
D:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ncurses-0.9.1
for inspection.
Results logged to
D:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ncurses-0.9.1/gem_make.out


please give me solution if any one of you know that

Thanks,
PShah
