The contents of my lib/alexandria/config.rb are:
# This file is automatically generated by the AlexandriaBuild installer.
# Do not edit it directly.

module Alexandria
   module Config
     DATA_DIR = '/usr/share/alexandria'
     MAIN_DATA_DIR = DATA_DIR
     LIB_DIR = '/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8'
   end
end


So somewhere in the build process it has decided on the same place that 
the .rpm goes to.  There are indications in the build scripts that this 
can be modified but I wouldn't know where to begin.  Frankly, I'd really 
like to have self-contained tree that I can tar up anyways.  As an 
interpreted application, there's really no reason afaik for Alexandria 
to not run perfectly fine with all its files under a directory in 
user-space so long as its ruby system-dependencies are installed.

P.S. Apologies on the different user names... different mail clients on 
different machines.  I'll try and remember to remedy that tonight.
