Changes

Installing Gramps as an X11 application is achieved by downloading and installing the packages on which Gramps depends using software called fink. The process is a bit longwinded, but most of the features of Gramps work, and drag and drop and mouse clicks work very well. If you choose this route, you may be able to get some help both from the Gramps community and the fink community. Detailed instructions can be found here: [[Mac OS X fink local]] or here [[Mac OS X fink]]. Unfortunately, due to [http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Packaging:The_Great_Gnome_Update The Great Gnome Update], fink does not currently support any version of gramps beyond about 2.2.6. As of January 2008, the estimated date for release of an update that would support later versions of gramps is 'soon'. Note that fink is designed to support binary distributions and automatic building of packages, but the latest version of gramps that is 'fully' supported by fink is about version 1 of gramps (i.e. '''very''' old), so after you have installed the dependencies, you have to install gramps 'manually'.
