Description Pistos 2015-11-24 05:58:20 UTC 
If you set RUBY_TARGETS="ruby21" in your make.conf, Portage will happily compile app-editors/diakonos.  However, Diakonos requires curses to run.  curses is included in the stdlib of Ruby 2.0, but it needs to be installed as a gem for Ruby 2.1+.

$ diakonos
/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- curses (LoadError)
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/diakonos.rb:16:in `<top (required)>'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
        from /usr/bin/diakonos:3:in `<main>'
Comment 1 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2016-07-23 18:26:12 UTC 
This is now fixed by adding the gem and letting diakonos depend on it.
