Alexandria crashes on start-up

[Alperen Yusuf Aybar]

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and alexandria 0.6.3
Alexandria doesn't start up. It just crashes...

I'm gonna attach the terminal output.

Thanks for the bug report.
Do you run Ubuntu 32bit or x64? Have you used Alexandria before (do you have a library from a previous version present)? If so, how many books are in the library?

[Alperen Yusuf Aybar (alperen)]

I'm using 32bit version. Yes, I have used Alexandria before. I tried to open after removing .alexandria folder from my home directory, no change. Still crashes on start up.

I'm trying to use the 32bit version. I don't get any such terminal output. It just hangs indefinitely. I can't even ctrl+C out of it. I have to kill -9 it from another terminal. No, no leftover Alexandria packages since I've never used it before.

This remains quite an elusive bug. I hope to have some spare time in the last half of October to do a fresh Ubuntu install and see if I can reproduce it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Did you try with the latest Ubuntu release? I tried on 8.10, I can't reproduce the issue, it works find.
Thanks in advance.

From other posts and dump.txt attached on commeit 1,
I guess Alperen is trying to use alexandria in Turkish locale
(i.e. in LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8).

If so, this is due to bugs in both ruby-gnome2 and alexandria.
For ruby-gnome2 side, this was fixed in rev 2857 [1][2]
For alexandria side, this was fixed in rev 1088 [3][4]
