Reformatted excerpts from Steve Goldman's message of 2010-01-25:

And just to confirm, when you run that sup-sync command by itself,
outside of sup-config, it just dies without a backtrace, right?

Since this didn't happen with Ferret, my best guess is that the problem
lies somewhere in the bowels of Xapian or the bindings thereof:

> xapian-bindings-ruby-1.0.17-2.fc11.x86_64

I would try and get the latest xapian-full gem. I have no experience
with the bindings Fedora distributes, but I know that that gem works for
me and for others.

It's possible to install and run gems entirely out of your home
directory (at least in recent versions), so it should be possible to do
this without involving your sysadmin, if that's easier.

Something like:

  gem install gemcutter
  gem install xapian-full

Ought to magically work, if your gems are new enough.

Let's wait on playing with Ruby versions until we have your Xapian
bindings locked down.
