Installation
aptitude install sup-mail
on Ubuntu Precise failed requiring 'ncurses_bin.so':
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- ncurses_bin.so (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/ncurses.rb:22:in `<top (required)>'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'

from /usr/bin/sup-mail:4:in `<main>'
Almost certainly because the package installs mostly ruby-1.8 libs whereas I'm running ruby-1.9.3.
So install from gem:
sudo aptitude install libxapian22 libxapian-dev
sudo gem1.9.1 install sup
Fails building xapian.
So back to the aptitude install, but this time pre-install libxapian-ruby1.9.1
sudo aptitude install libxapian-ruby1.9.1 libncurses-ruby1.9.1
sudo aptitude install sup-mail
Still broken.
sudo aptitude install libncurses-ruby1.9
is a transitional package.
Run with 1.8
This works:
ruby1.8 /usr/bin/sup-mail
ncursesw
sudo gem install ncursesw
attempts to install 1.9 version and fails
Configuration
IMAP
Needs offlineimap or similar to pull mail into a Maildir.
