Ruby 2 at Mac OS X: couldn't initialize curses color pair 4 #191

timonv · 2013-11-26T19:28:47Z

Hey guys,

Fresh install of supmua, and I get this error.

Weird, do you have a custom colormap.rb in: ~/.sup? Do you get this error when you try to start Sup the first time or do you do something else? Could you please turn on debugging: export SUP_LOG_LEVEL=debug and try again so that we'll get some more output.

Thanks, gaute

As for special setups, I'm running ZSH in iterm2 (custom colors in iterm), wrapped in tmux. Obviously on a mac.

gauteh · 2013-11-27T09:21:12Z

When does the error happen?
Can you also post the relevant parts of your ~/.sup/log file?

timonv · 2013-11-27T09:29:13Z

When does the error happen?

When firing up sup. Bare install as via the gmail + macosx tutorial. Also, I tried setting the color profile in my term back to default, using bare bash, no tmux and setting TERM=screen-256color

LANG is btw set to utf-8 across my terminal. Could that have negatively affected the ncurses compile some how, I don't know, like mapping the wrong color codes to the wrong colors? I'm just yak shaving here.

yak should be shaved, utf-8 is the way to go. shouldn't be a problem: as
far as I know color pairs are still integers.

could you try with just plain mac os x Terminal.app and no other special
setup stuff?

what version of Mac OS X do you run? did you do the 'brew link ncurses'
stage before installing the ncursesw-sup gem as well? there might be
some ncurses color test programs out there (possibly as part of
ncurses), maybe you could check if that works.

I can't test much more right now.

Disabled as much as I could, nothing :(

Mavericks, all linked well. Also tried a relink and a gem pristine ncursesw-sup, didn't work. No errors either. I'll get on the color test programs.

gauteh · 2013-11-27T13:08:44Z

Ok, I run pretty much the same setup as you. Except I use Ruby 1.9.3 through RVM, maybe worth a shot? I also have all Xcode CLI tools, but you probably needed to install that yourself?

The correct, wide char supporting, ncurses must be installed and linked (--force) before the gem is installed. Doing a pristine install should have taken care of that anyway (you could try to do brew doctor before installing the gem as well).

schmeisers · 2013-11-27T13:14:30Z

I run a setup very similar (Mavericks, iTerm2, tmux) and had the same issue until I switched to using Ruby 1.9.3.

No. Way.

That did it.

Cool.

So it is a Ruby 2.0.0 Mac OS X specific issue 😀

There's such a thing as oss continuous integration servers.

There's such a thing as oss continuous integration servers.

We do have some testing using Travis (including Ruby 2.0.0), but not
really testing anything curses. And nothing at all on the Mac OS X platform.

Cool! Thanks for the help @gauteh and @k2enemy ! Closing this. A remark in the readme and/or osx install instructions would be awesome!

sure! help yourself to the wiki ;)

we could probably keep this open. it should be fixed at some point.

that could be.. but it breaks Sup so I think it should be kept open anyway.
