How can I install this simple ruby gem? Not found using pacman(Pamac) and fails when I run gem install curses from cli. this is a new install 1 day old. 6.12.19-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Welcome to the forum! 
Pamac and Pacman are two different programs:
ruby-curses is in the AUR (Arch User Repository) if you need it as a dependency for a system package.
Please post the output using preformatted text.
Please also post the output of gem env to print the RubyGems Environment.

Thank you for your response and information. I enabled AUR(Arch User Repository) and now see ruby curses. In addition, I kept trying to solve my “gem install” issues (which extend beyond curses). I found that ruby Gems require: gcc, make, gc, guile to be installed. Which was easily done using Pamac.
rubygems doesn’t require it - it is in the regular repo. But ruby-curses does. This is from the AUR.
To properly be able to use the AUR, install the meta-package base-devel.
It contains what you listed and more - but not guile.
