Can not run Alexandria on Hoary!

[Bengt Thuree]

Hi,

I have tried to install the Gnome database software for keeping tracks of
your books, and met some problems.
http://alexandria.rubyforge.org/

Installing works fine, but not running.

Have anyone managed to get it to run, or do I have to use the equvivalent
to SID.

Hmm...
