I think you built/installed Ruby without the necessary dependencies for
the curses extension.  In any case, Ruby 2.2.0 split out "curses" as a
separate RubyGem.

You'll need the necessary build dependency (libncurses5-dev on Debian)
to build + install it:

        sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
        gem install curses

I think RH-based systems have named the build-dep "ncurses-devel" or
similar

Right, dtas-console is totally optional.
