A wrapper for ncurses 5.x. Tested on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Ubuntu
8.04 with ruby 1.8.6 using ruby-ffi (>= 0.2.0) and JRuby 1.1.6.
This point release fixes a problem with installing as a gem under
JRuby, caused by
the fact that JRuby has a built-in ffi and there does not appear to be a
way
to specify per-platform gem dependencies in a gemspec.
How easy would it be to wire up a compatible curses API (C-extension)
on top of ffi-ncurses? JRuby is still missing this library and for
compatibility-sake it would be nice to have this missing piece added?
The plus if it is not so tough is we would end up making ffi-ncurses a
distribution gem for JRuby too

Hi Tom,
It’s on my roadmap. I’m planning to add an Ncurses compatibility layer
(but without the Menu and Forms interfaces to start with).
