I've been a happy user of sup for about a year and a half, since 0.6!  Thanks
to everyone for all the hard work!

I'm on Ubuntu Karmic Koala.  I have not switched from Ferret yet, but intend to
once 0.10 is installed.  I can gem uninstall and install sup 0.9 no sweat, but
gem update sup, as well as gem install sup after uninstalling all sup gems,
gives me the following error:

gem install sup
Updating installed gems
Updating sup
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing sup:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
        --with-make-prog
        --without-make-prog
        --srcdir=.
        --curdir
        --ruby=/usr/bin/ruby1.8
        --with-ncurseswlib
        --without-ncurseswlib
        --with-pdcurseslib
        --without-pdcurseslib
extconf.rb:46: ncurses library not found (RuntimeError)

Gem files will remain installed in /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ncursesw-1.2.4.1 for
inspection.
Results logged to /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ncursesw-1.2.4.1/gem_make.out
Nothing to update

I've tried installing ncurses and ncursesw gems.  I notice that there are
ncurses and ncursesw packages installed through aptitude as well.  I'm not
savvy enough to know what might be interfering with what.  I took one stab at
uninstalling ncurses-base through aptitude and aptitude told me that was stupid
and I better know what I'm doing!  All I really know is that all previous
versions installed and this one doesn't.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
David
