"gem install sup" will put a script in /usr/bin so you should be able to
simply type sup. If you have multiple versions of ruby you might have
problems but if you invoke it thus: /path/to/ruby /usr/bin/sup you
should be right.

Not sure if this helps but you really don't want to be using ruby 1.9.0
the latest is ruby-1.9.1-p376. If you want to install using Debian
packages they are in testing.

    apt-get install rubygems1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev rdoc1.9.1 irb1.9.1

should see you right.
