Installing gramps for X11 using MacPorts
- Install Mac OS X Leopard and update to the latest version. (X11 will be installed by default on Leopard - older OSes may require it to be manually installed.)
- Download and install the latest Xcode tools from http://developer.apple.com/technology/Xcode.html
- Download and install Macports from http://www.macports.org/install.php
- Open Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities and enter these commands:
sudo port -v selfupdate sudo port install gtk2 sudo port install gramps sudo port install python_select sudo python_select python25 sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
- Now wait 5 minutes to be sure that launchctl has finished
- When you want to run GRAMPS, enter these commands
open /Applications/Utilities/X11.app gramps
On older OSes it may be necessary to instead use
open-x11 gramps
