fix backspace issue in sup/debian
Create a file, /etc/inputrc for system wide use or ~/.inputrc for personal use. Actually, this is the readline initialization file, readline is a library that some programs (bash, kvt) use to read input (try bind -v to see a list of readline key and function bindings). Cut and paste the following in the file to make the Delete key delete characters under the cursor, and make Home and End work as well:
"\e[3~": delete-char
# this is actually equivalent to "\C-?": delete-char
# VT
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
# kvt
"\e[H":beginning-of-line
"\e[F":end-of-line
# rxvt and konsole (i.e. the KDE-app...)
"\e[7~":beginning-of-line
"\e[8~":end-of-line
If a system-wide /etc/inputrc was created, add the following line to /etc/profile:
export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
Make sure that the stty erase character is set to ^?. Type
stty -a | grep erase
and check if it says
erase = ^?;
If it is set to something else (e.g. ^H) then put the following line in both .bashrc and in either .bash_profile or /etc/profile:
if tty --quiet ; then
stty erase '^?'
fi
and for xterm and rxvt add this to .Xdefaults:
*ttyModes: erase ^?
If you create /etc/inputrc, note that Bash will ignore ~/.inputrc (currently this happens in all distributions except Debian, however, this might change in the future). As an alternative, you can edit ~/.inputrc, and copy this to /etc/skel/, so it's in the home directories of all new users.
Push the key-combination 'Ctrl-x-r' (push the control-key, the x-key. release it, push the r-key, release it, and then release the control-key) to see if the changes in inputrc take effect. Or just login again, and it will work.
You can also change the keybindings on the fly with the bind command, e.g:
[localhost]> bind "\C-?": backward-delete-char
This is useful to test different keybindings, if they work you can put them in ~/.inputrc. Read all about it in the readline manpage.
People using keymaps with e.g. Scandinavian characters who would like bash to display these characters (øl;-) have to add the following lines in .inputrc:
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
set input-meta on
For more info, check the Danish-HOWTO.

issues installing sup - mail client written in ruby
_installing sup mail client
current restriction
use ruby-1.9.1-p378
you will need to install iconv for ruby (use this article http://tokarchuk.ru/2011/05/iconv-for-ruby-1-9-2/)
1_ get sup using git
2_ gem install sup
following problems could appear:
1_ ncurses - incorrect s.date = "2010-11-9 00:00:00.000000000Z"
ncursesw-1.2.4.3.gemspec - comment line with s.date
2_ libc.so.6 is missing go to your /lib/ and hardlink to libc.so.7 if installed "ln -s libc.so.7 libc.so.6"
