Subject: [sup-talk] Problems with gems

Hi!

I'm trying to install sup _without_ using gems, as I already have most
of the dependencies through my package manager (aptitude), and I'm
having lots of trouble.

Since there is no way of telling gems that I already have the packages,
sup won't work because it's trying to check the dependencies via gems on
runtime and failing because gems thinks rake (for instance) is not
installed.

Is this a sup issue?

Thanks,
		Alberto

No, I don't think so.  AFAIK this is a known issue with the gem system
in combination with other packaging systems.

What if you remove the "require 'rubygems'" lines from bin/sup and
lib/sup.rb?
