I'm sorry, but it doesn't appear to be fixed here. Just in case, here is
the whole exection:

The problem was: 'undefined method `edit' for #<Redwood::ForwardMode:0x2aaaab5044b8>' (error type NoMethodError)
A backtrace follows:
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.9/lib/sup/modes/thread-index-mode.rb:337:in `forward': undefined method `edit' for #<Redwood::ForwardMode:0x2aaaab5044b8> (NoMethodError)
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.9/lib/sup/mode.rb:52:in `send'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.9/lib/sup/mode.rb:52:in `handle_input'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.9/lib/sup/buffer.rb:191:in `handle_input'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.9/bin/sup:186
        from /usr/bin/sup:16:in `load'
        from /usr/bin/sup:16


Also, I think in the Rakefile, doing require 'lib/sup.rb' doesn't work
as imagined. The requires within lib/sup.rb require 'sup/*' and so try
to load from the local gem repository. I looked at the hoe project's
Rakefile and I see them doing a trick which probably is what we want:

require 'rubygems'
require 'hoe'
$:.unshift 'lib'
require 'sup'



Also, I think the change of the VERSION to 0 for development is a
problem. I got this after installing dev version of sup (after removing
the old ones):
/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:304:in `report_activate_error': RubyGem version error: sup(0 not > 0) (Gem::LoadError)
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:238:in `activate'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:76:in `active_gem_with_options'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:50:in `gem'
        from /usr/bin/sup:15

Maybe some really high version number would be good since gems does a
comparison for choosing which version to use?
