[opensuse] Re: [Gramps-users] python 2.6 and openSuSE 11.1
Dave skrev:
Even though the bsddb module is an official part of the Python 2.6 package the maintainer of this package for the openSuSE team decicded to omit the _bsddb module from the package for the 11.1 release. It is not present. The openSuSE maintainer is supposedly resubmitting this package with the _bsddb module included as he has gotten a lot of complaints but to date this has not happened. That leaves the 11.1 users with three options. Wait for the package update from openSuSE, compile and install Python 2.6 from source code, or compile and install the bsddb3 module.
Since the _bsddb module provided by the Python 2.6 package is troublsome (the reason it was omitted) and will not be present in the 3.0 release I opted to install the bsddb3 module instead. I am not sure if Gramps even uses this module but so far Gramps has run without problems on my machine.

It would be most welcome to have Gramps as an installable package from one of the repositories. Another one is Gourmet! I've tried to get it to install, but it refuses to on 11.1. I contacted the author but he's not be forthcoming with any assistance, even when sent an error report.
