Hey all
After a ncurses error while using sup (mail client in ruby) [error
follows]:
The problem was: ‘couldn’t initialize curses color pair 4, 0 (key
1)’ (error type ArgumentError)
A backtrace follows:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/colormap.rb:90:in

I decided I should try reinstalling ncurses and the like on my Mac OS
X PPC
So the main reason i’m writing is… What techniques did other
people use for installing ncurses, and what should I watch out for?
Thanks,
