Yes the rest of ruby/irb/rails etc is OK - I can build and run rails projects. It is just the rails console script which people seem to use a lot. Have worked through the David Black pdf "Ruby for Rails" which was good value. Most of the install was trouble free using gems. Looking on the forums it seems lots of people have had this issue
it relates to libncurses5-dev. which has some C headers for various things.

Hi Richard,
             Can you launch Ruby yet?
The console is just a irb session for you to interact with rails application methods.
In windows I used to launch the console by the command:  ruby console
In the cosole you see something like...
"Loading development environment"
and the prompt >>
But now I click on "Open a rails console" in the instantRails panel which in its latest version incorporates mongrel and more importantly
tight integration with radrails(eclipse+ruby+rails).
In radrails you also have a clickable console view...+ Ri + a multitude of desiderata

Have been working my way through Ruby on Rails Up and Running
(BTW dont get it from the American site - they didnt quote P+P when I bought it - price was US$29.95. When it finally came several weeks later they had charged *US$35* for postage which made a book of 150 pages or so nearly AUS$100)

A minor irritation - cant get rails console to work
It is missing --readline This seems to be a common problem on the groups - one of the development libraries missing.

Do an apt-get and an error
Dynamic MMap out of room
Package lists or status files could not be parsed or opened

Any ideas?
Thanks
