Alexandria crashes on start-up

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?

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]

I installed alexandria by `sudo apt-get install alexandria`

then i ran it hitting command `alexandria` in terminal, and i get following message.
