Rails 3.0 console won't run

Question

bash-3.2# rails console
/opt/local/lib/ruby1.9/1.9.1/irb/completion.rb:9:in `require': dlopen(/opt/local/lib/ruby1.9/1.9.1/i386-darwin10/readline.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (LoadError)
  Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/ruby1.9/1.9.1/i386-darwin10/readline.bundle
  Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:

from script/rails:9:in `<main>'

while "rails server" works pretty well

any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You're missing the ncurses library.
You must install it in order to launch the console.
