I''ve been using an old PowerPC Mac. I got a new Intel one running
Leopard (10.6.2) but got an error trying to install sup. Everything is
a fresh install. The only thing I''ve done is install the Xcode tools.
The error (below sig) looks like a problem with ncurses. Looking around
at the mkmf.log file (attached), I see more issues with curses: no
wmove(), no libpdcurses.
The ruby installed is 1.8.7. gem is 1.3.1.
I recreated this by copying the little test program with the wmove() in
it. When I tried to build it with -lncursesw, it failed because that
lib doesn''t exist but it did work with -lncurses (without the
''w''). So
I just made a symlink:
guava:/usr/lib>ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.dylib /usr/lib/libncursesw.dylib
That works. Now gem install sup works. But I''m not sure
that''s the
best fix. Anyway, it looks like the problem is in gem install ncursesw
and not in gem install sup but I thought you might like to know about
this.
Thanks,
John

I''ve made some more progress but am still stuck. I used macports to update ruby and gem and I undid the symlink library hack, and now gem install sup works. Yay!

I also did gem install xapian-full and I did port install xapian-core and xapian-bindings When I try to run, I get this: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.10.2/lib/sup/index.rb:229:in `init'': unknown index type "xapian": dlopen(/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3.4/lib/_xapian.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libxapian-1.1.3.dylib (RuntimeError) Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3.4/lib/_xapian.bundle Reason: image not found - /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3.4/lib/_xapian.bundle from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.10.2/bin/sup-config:150 from /opt/local/bin/sup-config:19:in `load'' from /opt/local/bin/sup-config:19 I don''t have a /usr/local/lib/libxapian-1.1.3.dylib but I do have /opt/local/lib/libxapian.15.6.6.dylib, et al.

I''d rather have all users be able to install than having utf8 support by default, especially when the way to enable utf8 is so easy - gem install ncursesw. I''ve promoted the debug log about missing ncursesw to an info log.
