2011/7/27 Michaël Van Dorpe <mic...@gm...>: > Many thanks for that little note, John. Following those guidelines, running gramps in OSX Lion is very easy indeed. > > I had expected that I could now just copy my entire ubuntu /home/user/.gramps/grampsdb folder to my OSX /Users/user/Library/Application Support/gramps/grampsdb folder, and while that does populate the 'family tree' opening dialog window in gramps, loading a specific family tree results in the familiar 'Berkeley environment' error… Are there any other elements that I should copy from my ubuntu install? > > (I know that I can just take a proper export of each family tree in ubuntu, but if possible, I would like to just copy the entire relevant directory.) In general, it is not enough to copy database files between systems. BSDDB can vary from system to system, even from version to version. In a word, BSDDB is not binary compatible except with the exact same version of itself. Nothing will work around this, except for having XML backups/exports and exporting/importing. (Someday, I would like to fix this by having an alternate backend that is guaranteed to remain backwards and platform compatible.) -Doug > Thanks, > > Michaël > > Op 22-jul.-2011, om 23:29 heeft John Ralls het volgende geschreven: > >> GTK+, and consequently Gramps, isn't stable on Lion.
