Summary: ncurses on ubuntu 9.10: --ignore-dependencies
Initial Comment:
On ubuntu 9.10 there is not gem for ncurses
sudo gem install ncurses
ERROR: could not find gem ncurses locally or in a repository
instead you must install ncurses via apt-get
sudo apt-get install libncurses-ruby
now when installing a gem that depends on ncurses I still run into problems:
sudo gem install sup
ERROR: Error installing sup:
sup requires ncurses (>= 0.9.1, runtime)
Now try:
sudo gem install --ignore-dependencies ncurses sup
...
Now execute sup
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:827:in `report_activate_error': Could not find
RubyGem ncurses (>= 0.9.1) (Gem::LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:261:in `activate'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:296:in `activate'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:295:in `each'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:295:in `activate'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:68:in `gem'
from ../bin/sup:18
To fix this issue I had to manually edit the gemspec and comment out the
ncurses dependency. I'm thinking maybe gem install could do this for me?
