[sup-talk] Sup on Ubuntu

[Raymond Kroeker]

Hi All,
  I've a problem running sup.  I downloaded/compiled/installed ruby 1.8.5.
I downloaded/installed gems 0.9.4.  I installed the sup gem and its
dependencies.  When I run sup I get the included warnings/errors.

  I _think_ my problem has something to do with my potential confusion
between ncurses and curses.  I've installed the libraries via apt; and can
load ncurses (see below) but curses cannot be loaded.

  Any help would be appreciated.

I also have this issue if I start irb and type:

user at host:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'curses'
LoadError: no such file to load -- curses
        from

        from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0> require 'ncurses'
=> true
irb(main):004:0> quit
