Some combination of ruby-1.9 and rake-0.8.4 causes the Alexandria install to fail. I've filed a bug report upstream at http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=25678&group_id=205&atid=863 since the issue is still present in their SVN HEAD.
Created attachment 189434 [details, diff] Patch to allow alexandria-0.6.4.1 to install
I believe this is also an issue for Alexandria 0.6.5
Will take over Alexandria as main maintainer, now. This patch has made it upstream, but they are sure that there are other incompatabilities, which need to get addressed. So the question is to leave this bug open after the 0.6.6 release, which will fix this issue, or close it. John, as you seem to be a user maintainer, welcome for some collaboration.
Alexandria 0.6.6 is out for a long time now. Is this bug still valid ?
