Do you have msgconv program? If not then you need to get it in order
to build from source. If you have it elsewhere then read on.
SuSE sometimes places things under /opt and then it sometimes does
not include them on your path. For compiling from source, you need
to be able to run 'msgconv' binary. So you can either find it and
create a symlink to it in any conventional place:
   $ ln -s /real/path/to/msgconv /usr/bin/msgconv

or add the location of msgconv to your path:
   $ export PATH=3D$PATH:/real/path/to/msgconv

However, you may also try the pre-built RPM of gramps, packaged
by Richard Bos. Here's the RPM for SuSE 10.1:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS.suser-rbos/gramps-=
2.0.8-0.suse1000.rb0.i586.rpm
