I said earlier:If you have suse 9.3 or 10.0, a pentium-class pc, and have apt4rpm installed, you can type into a terminal (as root, of course) 'apt-get update' (minus the quotes) then type in 'apt --no-checksig install gramps' and it will install gramps plus any dependencies that gramps has that may not yet be installed. Or you can go to http://rpm.pbone.net and search for gramps and download the appropriate rpm directly to your hard drive and then install it with YaST. It works great, except it seems to be somewhat slow if you have a very large database (my database has about 50,000 names) when compared to running PAF on Windows. I forgot to mention that if you use apt4rpm, you will need to check your /etc/apt/sources.list file. In it, you will need to have a line something like this: rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.0-i386 base update security rpmkeys suser-rbosIt doesn't matter if it has more stuff than that as long as suser-rbos, base, security, and update are listed. If you've upgraded gnome (more than just the security updates and bug fixes from suse), you may want gnome to be in the list as well because gramps is dependent on certain gnome packages. The SuSE/10.0-i386 portion of the line is from my sources.list file and should already be set in yours according to your version of suse and architecture. If it is different than mine, you should NOT change that portion of the line. After editing the sources.list file, you will need to run 'apt-get update' again before trying to install gramps. Also, if you have Suse 9.2 or older, there are older versions of gramps available for your distribution through apt. Brice Hunt |
