Hi William,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I finally got back around to playing
with this again. Here are the answers to your questions:
>gem list --local | grep curse
ncurses (0.9.1)
The test script prints:
true
The ncurses examples all seem to work and display color. I did have to edit
them to add require 'rubygems' at the top.
I also tried playing with the sup code a bit. If I comment out lines 133-4
in lib/sup/colormap.rb:
# Curses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError,
# "couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})"
sup loads, but everything is in black and white and a bit difficult to
read. I also tried uncommenting that, then changing Curses to Ncurses so it
looks like this:
Nurses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError,
"couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})"
sup loads with that as well, and displays some color, but most of the screen
is unreadable (I'm guessing it's displaying as white text on white
background).
Any ideas? I tried changing more things from Curses to Ncurses, but that
quickly started generating method undefined errors.
Thanks!
Dan
