There are ==GraphViz== You may wish to install GraphViz to handle some of the graphical reports that Gramps can produce. MacPorts can provide you with either graphical or command-line based versions of either a number 'stable' or 'development' release of GraphViz. 'graphviz-gui' is recommended unless you know that you have a need for the development version. Install with:  sudo port install graphviz-gui ==Issues== You can search the MacPorts bug tracker for any issues, some of which are probably specific related to particular versions of Mac OS Xthe Gramps port: https://trac.macports.org/search?portsummarysearch=on
# If Please don't hesitate to create a ticket if you had find a previous installation of MacPorts and Gramps, and problem that you want to start again from scratch, then simply deleting the folder /opt believe is not enough to uninstall MacPorts. The correct instructions for doing so are at [[http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html MacPorts Guide: uninstalling]]. In particular, you have to rename/move aside /Applications/MacPorts when you do a fresh install.# libproxy 0.4.0 does not build properly on Tiger see [[http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24127 MacPorts ticket 24127]]. Reverting related to the Portfile for 0.3.0 works.# The WriteCD plugin is unavailable. This relies on GNOME and has not been made to work on OS X.# The spelling checker may or may not work. gnome-python-extras needs to be build after gtkspell (which may not happen in an entirely automated build). In addition, there appear to be some other problems which affect whether it works or not. See [[http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24266 MacPorts ticket 24266]].# The latest version of MacPorts Gramps is based on Python 2.6, but this does not build _bsddb correctly on some OS/architecture combinations. See [[http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23768 MacPorts ticket 23768]] and [[http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24310 MacPorts ticket 24310]].# A warning message is produced when running Gramps: "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"." According to the MacPorts FAQ [[http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#randr]] "It's harmless and you should ignore it".# The Geographic View is not available because webkit-gtk does not build under MacPorts [[http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23464 MacPorts ticket 23464]] and [[http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36088 webkitgtk bug]]).# When going into the file chooser (for example on export or import or plugin manager, you may get the warning: "GtkWarning: Unable to find default local directory monitor type". This doesn't seem to be very serious, and seems to be a "more general gtk issue". See [[http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnubg@.../msg03464.html]]process.
If you start gramps from the xterm window, don't forget to follow the instructions about setting paths for the X11 environment in [[httpCategory:Developers//trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts#OptionsfortheMacPortsshellandX11environment MacPorts wiki: Installing MacPortsPackaging]].
