Not sure. Sup generates the default name value using: require 'etc' Etc.getpwnam(ENV["USER"]).gecos.split(/,/).first What does that evaluate to on your system? Now that actually could evaluate to nil for a variety of reasons, so I've fixed the logic to avoid the crash if so. But I'm not sure why it would be nil due to iconv not being installed. -- William
