I sent a mail 2 days ago, but I didn't receive any message, fear the
mlist could be closed to non-sucribers I suscribed, and resend it :

hello, I'm on ubuntu, love gmail, and sup looks like what I'm looking
for, but I can't get  gem installing it.
here's what it says :

----------------
shivan at selena:~$ sudo gem install sup -y
