Hi Hugo,

After installing Banshee 3.0, I tried to remove some demo modules.
I got an error saying :
Call to undefined function ncurses_init() in [...]/remove_module.

It turns out that ncurses is no longer part of PHP since version 5.3.

Is ncurses in any way vital to Banshee ?
Will it remain part of your scripts (such as the remove_module script) now that it's apparently thrown out of PHP ?
(I know I could install ncurses, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.)

Banshee version: 3.0
PHP version: 5.3.3
Webserver: Apache (Ubuntu 10.04 Server)

Thanks for letting me know. I will fix this for the next version. In 'remove_module' and 'show_library_api', you can replace the four lines that contain the ncurses_init() call with the following code:

$output = explode(";", exec("stty -a | grep columns"));
$width = 80;
foreach ($output as $line) {
  list($key, $value) = explode(" ", ltrim($line), 2);
  if ($key == "columns") {
    $width = (int)$value;
    break;
  }
}

Great, works like a charm.

Thanks!
