Hello,
I have been trying out sup, and rather like it. Unfortunately, it
seems very easy
to crash :-(
First things though, how do I get utf8 support working properly?
[Mon Apr 12 08:52:00 +1000 2010] No 'ncursesw' gem detected. Install
it for wide character support.
How do I install this on a Ubuntu Karmic system?
I tried:
brian@aquitard:~/tree/sup$ sudo gem install ncursesw
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing ncursesw:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb
extconf.rb:23:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
from extconf.rb:23
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
Thanks

Hi Brian - I believe before installing the ncursesw gem, you need to install
libncurses-ruby (using aptitude). You may also need libncursesw-dev; I've got
both of those installed on my machine, and I'm honestly not sure which one is
necessary.

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, on my system, I have both these packages installed :-(

You need ruby-dev for mkmf.

For some reason I was certain I had resolved this issue. It looks like
it has come back again.
Am using Ubuntu Lucid.
