"gem install sup" seems to be failing on ncurses.

Gem files will remain installed in /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ncurses-0.9.1
for inspection.

I get pretty much identical output from "gem install ncurses", so I suspect
the problem is not even a sup issue. Am I doing something terribly wrong?
All comments most welcome.

Best,
Neil.
