I fixed it by downloading the rb file from:

http://dev.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/repository/revisions/master/changes/lib/windows_console_color_support.rb

and placing it in the beef working dir. There's probably a better way to do it, but this was good enough to get it working.

This workaround doesn't work for me. This error comes up:

Did you use wget? I did the same thing the first time and ended up with an html file instead of the .rb.

There's probably a better way, but I just downloaded with a browser and transferred to the dir.

This is actually a problem of librex-0.0.63.

Using librex-0.0.52 is fine, so the issue can be fixed in the following way:

1. gem uninstall librex

Select gem to uninstall:

1. librex-0.0.52
2. librex-0.0.63
3. All versions

   3
   Successfully uninstalled librex-0.0.52
   Successfully uninstalled librex-0.0.63

4. gem install librex --version 0.0.52 --no-rdoc --no-ri
5. gem list

You're welcome ;)
Got a positive confirmation also from another user (on Ubuntu, there was the same error), so I'm marking the issue as verified.
