Ruby greater than 1.9.3 at Mac OS X cannot find homebrew ncursesw library

[gauteh]

Sup issues:

• ncursesw-sup gem fail on Mac OS X: cannot find ncursesw library sup#134
• Issues installing ncursesw-sup on Mac OS X 10.8.3 sup#49
• fix, downgrade ruby: Ruby 2 at Mac OS X: couldn't initialize curses color pair 4 sup#191

Confuzed stuff.

Is there no plan to make the library work with newer versions of Ruby?

[gauteh]

Have you tested? It does work on newer version.

[philip-peterson]

Yes, with Ruby 2.1.5p273 (gem install sup), I'm still getting:

extconf.rb:48:in `<main>': ncurses library not found (RuntimeError)

Apologies, I am not super familiar with the Ruby ecosystem, but I am using rvm, and checking the mkmf.log, I see that it is passing GCC arguments like -L/Users/mpapis/.sm/pkg/active/lib, where mpapis seems to be this person. Surely that's not supposed to be happening?

This is on OS X 10.10, by the way.

Have you tried the solutions that worked for any of the users in the first post of this thread?
