Installing from apt didn't work. Trying gem install sup, I get the following
errors:

ERROR:  Error installing sup:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

rake1.8 RUBYARCHDIR=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3.4/lib
RUBYLIBDIR=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3.4/lib
sh: rake1.8: not

Any thoughts? I am not a programmer, so keep it elementary, if you will.
