On a fresh copy I placed the above lines, in the ncurse_wrap.h file. 
"make" worked, I created a gem and installed the gem. (I placed the 
lines above #include <ruby.h> else i get compilation errors.)

Upon execution of any sample I get: dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: 
Symbol not found: _rb_str2cstr

Perhaps, I am placing these lines in the wrong place. I tried placing in 
the .c file but i get the same run time error.
