Hi Andrei,

These problems are all 1.9 related. But I'm very interested in getting
Sup working with 1.9, so let's see if we can figure something out.

Reformatted excerpts from Andrei Thorp's message of 2011-01-25:

You may not need this; see Rich's comments earlier.

Perhaps the package has not been updated to 1.9?

What is ther error? Sup shouldn't care where its source files go.

This is weird. Sup doesn't depend on the ncurses gem any more. And that
gem doesn't build under 1.9. Sup now depends on the ncursesw gem (which
Rich has been releasing newer versions of) which *does* support 1.9.

This is the most troubling. I will see if I can figure out what's going
on here. I've seen this before and it's another symptom of Ruby 1.9
string insanity.

Due to spam reasons I've shut it down, at least for the time being.

I suspect not, given the above.
