Without this lib utf8 chars are broken in curses (commandline apps),
it would be great if it would somehow get installed before installing ruby.
Its no hard dependency, just a nice thing to have.

The system ncurses is working fine for me. What issues are you seeing?

utf8 chars are not displayed correctly in 'curses' (no idea if its ok in curses), when this lib is not installed
ill try to reproduce it on a clean aws instance

Ah, I was thinking readline.

I think this is outside the scope of ruby-build. It should be possible to install the library yourself and get Ruby to build against it.
