Someone else just reported this problem too. I wonder whether the best
solution is your patch (remove the .6) or the patch I was thinking of,
where we special-case BSD to look for libc.so.43. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

I... think so. What's your TERM environment variable set to? Do other
(color!) ncurses programs work?

Do you have both ncurses and ruby development libraries installed? I
know what they are in Linux world but not in BSD land.

Yeah, I would ignore the gem issue for now. I suspect that at this point
it's a matter of tricking the 1970's technology that is ncurses into
displaying color on your particular environment, by trying different
TERMs and terminal emulators.
