Hm. 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?
