Re: [Gramps-devel] Problem on startup

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

On my box:

python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:31:22)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from bsddb import db
>>> db.DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE
524288
>>> db.version()
(4, 6, 21)


So here, db.DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE exists

It would appear it does not exist on your box. Can you check? As you see I
run version 4.6.21

A bug at that moment means your data cannot load.
The strange thing is, I cannot see this being related to an unclean closed
database, as this should fail always if the attribute is not present, so
GRAMPS should never work on your machine ....

Please, provide more feedback. Note that line 483 in dbdir.py can be
removed, it was added to avoid log files of several Mb clogging down the
systhem.
