sup talk - Sep 2011 - utf8-issue

Hi all,

Thanks for the excellent sup!

I''m french, and so I have utf-8 issues... I''m trying to follow
the first method
of the wiki (that is, using the sources obtained from Git):
http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UTF8

libncurses5-dev and  libncursesw5-dev are  installed.  Changing to  the ncursesw
branch, applying the patch and returnin to the next branch works.

However, when I run sup with : "ruby -Ilib bin/sup", I get the error
message:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sup/poll.rb:31: undefined method `[]'' for
nil:NilClass
(NoMethodError)
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require''
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require''
  from ./lib/sup.rb:374
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require''
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require''
  from bin/sup:22

Because I''m not familiar with ruby, I don''t understand what is
not working... Is
the rubygems version to old?  I''m on ubuntu 10.04

The command "apt-cache policy rubygems" give:

rubygems:
  Install??: 1.3.5-1ubuntu2
  Candidat?: 1.3.5-1ubuntu2
 Table de version?:
 *** 1.3.5-1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Or is another package missing?


Thanks for any help !

Best,
David

Hi David,

Please use ruby1.9.1 and install the ncursesw gem with gem1.9.1 install
ncursesw. That should fix all UTF-8 issues.

Best regards,
Michael

I just found the solution here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/sup-devel at rubyforge.org/msg00692.html

It solved my problem. I then update the index from v1 to v4 as sup
asked, and I have utf-8 working nice!

I added a "Troubleshooting" to the wiki:
