We've had other people get it working on Cygwin before, I believe. Are you running this within Cygwin's rxvt?

Same error in all three. I also tried modifying NUM_COLORS to 15 (and other values... 1, 8, 16, 32) but got the same error every time in each terminal emulator. Honestly, it's probably an issue with my setup... is there a guide anywhere on how to get sup running in cygwin? Maybe I'm missing a required package? Thanks!

I regularly use emacs with colors enabled, but I'm not sure if that uses curses. I tried typespeed and that seemed to work. According to its man page, it uses curses. Is there any way I could disable colors in sup as a test? I'll also try reinstalling curses and installing older versions to see if that makes a difference... Thanks!

What version of the ncurses gem do you have? (gem list --local should tell you.) What does this program print? require 'rubygems' require 'ncurses' x = begin Ncurses::initscr(); Ncurses::has_colors?() ensure Ncurses::endwin(); end puts x If it prints true, then, if you look in the contents of the gem (wherever that is on your system), there should be an examples/ directory. If you run examples/tlock.rb or examples/rain.rb, (probably with ruby -rubygems), do you see color? -- William <wmorgan-sup@masanjin.net> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I finally got back around to playing with this again. Here are the answers to your questions: >gem list --local | grep curse ncurses (0.9.1) The test script prints: true The ncurses examples all seem to work and display color. I did have to edit them to add require 'rubygems' at the top. I also tried playing with the sup code a bit. If I comment out lines 133-4 in lib/sup/colormap.rb: # Curses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError, # "couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})" sup loads, but everything is in black and white and a bit difficult to read. I also tried uncommenting that, then changing Curses to Ncurses so it looks like this: Nurses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError, "couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})" sup loads with that as well, and displays some color, but most of the screen is unreadable (I'm guessing it's displaying as white text on white background). Any ideas? I tried changing more things from Curses to Ncurses, but that quickly started generating method undefined errors. Thanks!
