Thanks, that was very helpful, and I managed to download many files. Can you tell me what the various version numbers mean - specifically are all these numbers below from a single namespace, or are they actually separate namespaces? In my fink config file, it says 10.2-gcc3.3 stable, which seems to mean Mac OS X 10.2 (although the documentation seems to say this is only for source distributions). In the fink documentation, it says 0.7.0 is the base version for binaries for OS 10.2 (and 10.3). In the package database on the web for gramps, it says that the tree for both 0.6.3 and current-10.2-gcc3.3 contains gramps 0.8.0-3 (which is the one I get downloaded). But it says that 0.7.0 contains 0.98.0- 11 (which I do not see). (All these are the stable versions). In your instructions, you suggest downloading from 0.6.3, which does indeed seem to contain 0.8.0, but why is this version not in 10.2- gcc3.3, and why is the later 0.98.0-11 not in the 0.7.0 tree (or at least I couldn't find them). Sorry this is all such a complicated question, but as you can see I am very confused as to whether I am looking at one or more version namespaces.
