Question on curses and ncurses

ruby-talk

I'm using Ruby on OS X, which comes with ncurses. If I 'require curses', will I still have access to all of the additional ncurses functionality? Or do I need to install an ncurses module?

Thanks,
Ken

I have started looking into curses and ncurses. The curses that comes
with ruby 1.8 covers some basic stuff. ncurses-ruby has some more, you
can install it with gem install ncurses.

I am looking at something called Term::Visual which does not have a gem.
Trying to get it to work. After doing ruby setup.rb (config , setup and
then install) into /opt/local it still is looking for "eventmanager".
However, there seems to be no gem or anything else in ruby called
eventmanager.

/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- eventmanager (LoadError)
  from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
  from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/term/visual.rb:4
  from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'
  from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
  from ex2.rb:2
