[Alexandria-list] Ubuntu 7.10 and Alexandria

[Jack Myrseth]

Hi!

I have now done several attempts to install Alexandria on a comletely
newly installed Ubuntu 7.10 with no other installations before it (besides
of course the update after the installation).

My first installation was from the all-deb file on Rubyforge.org, and it
installed whitout errors, but the Edit-Preferences-Providers-Advanced
button is gone. Neither is Amazon installed as provider by default, but I
do not know if that should be so. I repeat that there were no installation
of any package outside the OS itself before the installation.

After removing the first installation I ran one from the Package Manager,
but with the same result. I am starting to wonder if there are some
dependencies or prerequisites (are those different things? - perhaps they
are) missing here. I you start from scratch, what is needed to have
Alexandria working on 7.10 without installing the dev environment, which I
newer will come to use, anyway? Is there a list somewhere of what should
be installed first? Any information, a link perhaps, would be appreciated.
