About:
Alexandria is a GNOME application to help manage a book collection. It retrieves book information (including cover pictures) from several online libraries, allows you to search for a book (either by EAN/ISBN, title, authors, or keyword), can import and export data into ONIX, Tellico, and EAN/ISBN-list formats, generates Web pages from your libraries, allows marking your books as loaned, saves data using the YAML format, features an HIG-compliant user interface, shows books in different views that can be filtered or sorted, and handles book rating and notes.

[»] Nearly impossible to get running
by Tom - Jan 23rd 2008 01:53:05

There are too many dependencies to ruby-gnome, ruby-gtk, ruby-xxx. You cannot even expect to get the needed libraries compiled - i.e. you need ruby-glib2 from ruby-gtk. But it doesn't compile in the STABLE Branch - in the meanwhile for month.
