Ah, yes, you're right.  The README says that Ruby-GNOME2 >= 0.9.x [*] is
needed, and the asterisk points to what you said above.  I figured that
by installing ruby-gnome2, I'd have all those libraries installed along
with it, and that, though I need limit myself only to these libraries,
installing the whole package was fine.  As it turns out, I was incorrect
at some point.  I've installed all of the above libraries.

Now running `alexandria` gives me this:

Please report this dump to 'alexandria-list at rubyforge.org' with some
additional information, such as the description of the crash and the
steps to reproduce it (if it's possible).

Is there a fix for this?

On another note, I think these emails haven't been going to the list. 
Is this normal in your parts?  It occurs to me that this would make
searching through the archives of limited use.
