GRAMPS 0.9.1 has been released.

This version requires GNOME 2.0 or greater. If your system is running GNOME 1.4 or earlier, you should use 0.8.1. This version is known to work on RedHat 8.0, RedHat 9, Debian (sid), and Mandrake 9.1. It should also work under Gentoo, or any system that provides the GNOME 2 interface and the GNOME 2 python libraries (which unfortunately excludes Mandrake 9.0 unless you've compiled GNOME 2 yourself).

  • RedHat - you may need to load gnome-python2-gconf from the RedHat CDs.RedHat may not install this by default
  • Mandrake 9.1 - Mandrake does not provide all the GNOME libraries that you need on the CDs, but the needed libraries can be downloaded from ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS/ You will probably need gnome-python-1.99, gnome-python-bonobo-1.99, gnome-python-canvas-1.99, gnome-python-gconf-1.99, pygtk2.0-1.99, pygtk2.0-libglade-1.99
