I guess this is related to bug #8658
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=8658&group_id=205&atid=863
(installing Alexandria without root access). Is there a way to install
Alexandria in a user definable directory (something like PREFIX=)? I
tried to run it from my SVN checkout, but that doesn't seem to work. 

It would be nice to fix this somehow.
