Help with ncurses

[Institute For human continuity]

When I try to require ncurses the following error message comes up.

no such file to load -- ncurses_bin.so (LoadError)

What can I do to remedy this?

Was ncurses installed before compiling/installing Ruby?

If the ruby version was provided by the Linux distribution you have,
did you check for curses package in your package manager?

Start with that and let us know.

Thanks for your help but I've already worked out that ncurses and
Windows, which I am using, don't mix.

Back to the drawing board.
