Two solutions:

1) Edit the "bin/alexandria" script and change the ``#!/usr/bin/env
ruby -Ku'' line by ``#!/usr/bin/ruby -Ku'' (if ruby is installed in
/usr/bin)

2) Download latest CVS tarball at:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/alexandria/alexandria.tar.gz?tarball=1&cvsroot=alexandria

In CVS the "bin/alexandria" script is auto-generated with the good
path.  But the CVS version is still under development, and there are
bugs.  So I recommend you the first option :-)
