Thanks Alex. After much head scratching I finally worked out how to 
install the ReportLab modules. It was your kind self that supplied me 
with the way to do it a couple of years ago.

Unpack the ReportLab_1_20.tgz file and then copy the whole reportlab 
directory to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/

I have done that and now I have that working again. The upgrade to FC4 
also upgraded my python from 2.3 to 2.4.1 and, of course, the reportlab 
modules were not in it.

Anyway that is alll working fine again.

2.4.1

I also have 2.2 and 2.3 installed. Dunno if that makes a difference. 
Maybe that is why it loaded twice???

Some kind soul reported in this mailing list that he had written a 
calendar plug-in but it didn't work with previous versions of gramps but 
to wait for gramps 2.0.10-1. I thought that I had saved that info as 
well but I can no longer find it. Can you remember what it was. I do not 
believe it it to be the same calendar plug-in I am having trouble with 
above.

Any clues?
