Curses 1.3.1 not installing with Ruby <=2.4.4 on Ubuntu 19.04 #51

When running gem install curses on Ubuntu 19.04 building the native extension for curses v1.3.1 fails for Ruby versions <=2.4.4. libncursesw5-dev and libncurses5-dev are installed. I tried with C-Ruby versions installed via RVM.

Because the failure logs are about 4900 lines long, I’ll attach them as a file: curses-1.3.1.zip

Installing the gem works for me for Ruby >=2.4.5.

The same errors are reported at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/prometheus-client-mmap/issues/26.

It seems that Ruby 2.4.4 has problems with new versions of gcc. Please use Ruby 2.4.5 or later.
