sup talk - Aug 2007 - Error when running sup

Hello,

I just installed sup using gem install sup -y after it finished
installing I tried to run "sup" and I received the following errors.

Hi William,

I''m not sure what''s causing these. Looks like sup.rb is being
loaded
twice in your path for some reason. It shouldn''t affect anything
though.

Looks like you''re missing a Ruby iconv library. On my Debian system
it''s
a separate package named libruby-iconv. Not sure what the equivalent is
for BSD but it''s probably something similar.
