wmorgan/turnsole: Curses client for Heliotrope

Turnsole is a curses client for Heliotrope, the personal email server.

Turnsole is still under development. As such, there is no gem yet. You will have to run it the hard way:

Install Heliotrope. See the README at http://github.com/wmorgan/heliotrope.
Start Heliotrope.
Run git clone https://github.com/wmorgan/turnsole.git.
Install the following gems: trollop console locale rmail rest-client mime-types curb lrucache json. 4.1 If you are on OS X Snowleopard OR Lion, also install the snowleopard-ncurses gem. 4.2 If you are on Linux, also install the ncursesw gem.

Run turnsole like this: ruby -I lib -I /lib bin/turnsole

After the first invocation, you should edit ~/.turnsole/config.yaml to set any defaults.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR OS X

Certain versions of Ruby, on OS X, appear to exhibit bugs in Fibers, which turnsole uses extensively.

Ruby 1.8.7 works fine (Turnsole includes a Fiber backport).
Ruby 1.9.2-p280 fails.
Ruby 1.9.3-p0 works, but you cannot compile with llvm-gcc. Unfortunately, if you have XCode installed, this is the default. (See http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/40574 .) If you're using rvm to install, try this: CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p0 I managed to get that working.
