== Installing gramps for X11 using MacPorts ==
 
This page has been updated with information gleaned from installing gramps 3.0.4.1. from Macports onto a brand new iMac with OS X 10.5.6 on 14 March 2009.
=== Starting ===
 
==== X11 ====
The MacPorts information says that you have to install X11, either from an Apple disk or from an open source version. My iMac came pre-installed with X11 out of the Apple box, so that is probably the default nowadays. In that case, no action is needed.
==== OpenOffice ====
 
The advice from the [[Mac OS X]] page to install [http://www.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice] first is sound. That should complete without any errors. Be aware that the running openoffice icon in the Mac dock doesn't do anything when clicked. It has to be ctrl-clicked to pop up a menu.
==== MacPorts ====
 
[http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] should now install successfully with a couple of clicks. I just clicked on the "leopard" link on the [http://www.macports.org/install.php install] page and it just worked.
After all that (it takes a couple of hours to download and install xCode) the "type make" test above should succeed.
==== Gramps GRAMPS and the packages it depends on ==== The following text here was from the orignal original version of this page and was what I used to install grampsGRAMPS. In fact, it's out of date. A current experience is shown on the discussion page of this article, and it would have been better for me to do that instead. We should re-hash this page to make more sense, but none of us quite ahs has the courage to go ahead and do it!
