xapian problem (install sup)

[Peng Yu]

I have the following problem, when I install sup. Does anybody know
what is wrong? Thanks.

You'll need to take a look at that log file to figure this out.
But I've run into this before, and the first problem I had was that
I didn't have g++ installed.

The log file is not helpful.

~$ cat /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sup-0.21.0/ext/gem_make.out

Last time I had this problem, I solved it by installing ruby-xapian first and then sup. I'm not sure why.

For those who are starting to think that I sound like a broken record, sorry ^^
Maybe there should be a notice somewhere in the installation page.
