Subject: [sup-talk] Errors installing ncursesw

Given the other thread on how ncursesw cures those odd character strings, I've revisited this myself and I wonder if I could get suggestions.

>>>>
user@computer:$ sudo gem install ncursesw
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ncursesw:
	ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb
checking for unistd.h... yes
checking for locale.h... yes
checking for ncurses.h... yes
checking for wmove() in -lncursesw... no
checking for wmove() in -lpdcurses... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.
<<<<

Can anyone tell me where mkmf.log will be?  Not in the directory where I ran gem install.

I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 -- is that the problem?
