I emerged alexandria 0.6.1 (latest version in portage, masked unstable) on a fresh Gentoo (4-5 days). When I run it from the menu, nothing happens. When run from a terminal, it fails to load with the following message: /usr/bin/alexandria:6:in `require': no such file to load -- gettext (LoadError) from /usr/bin/alexandria:6 Here's an excerpt from "/usr/bin/alexandria": 1: #!/usr/bin/ruby18 -Ku 2: # 3: # This file is automatically generated by the installer. 4: # Do not edit by hands. 5: 6: require 'gettext' 7: require 'alexandria' ... ruby-gettext is installed: $ equery list ruby-gettext [ Searching for package 'ruby-gettext' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] dev-ruby/ruby-gettext-1.8.0 (0) $ equery files ruby-gettext [ Searching for packages matching ruby-gettext... ] * Contents of dev-ruby/ruby-gettext-1.8.0: /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/rgettext /usr/bin/rmsgfmt /usr/bin/rmsgmerge /usr/lib64 /usr/lib64/ruby /usr/lib64/ruby/gems /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8 /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/bin /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/bin/rgettext /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/bin/rmsgfmt /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/bin/rmsgmerge /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/cache /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/gettext-1.8.0.gem ...

It's kind of resolved: After I rebooted, alexandria starts fine (except for several GTK warnings). It seems that some ruby paths are not updated.
If this was the first time you installed ruby gems then your environment was probably out of date. We add a file in /etc/env.d to automatically call 'require "gems"' for you
