Re: [Gramps-users] GRAMPS 0.9.3 available for SuSE 8.2

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

Yes, packaging is always a problem. You can't build a nice, generic RPM.
It seems as if every distribution names the packages you depend on
differently.

When compiling from source, the naming differences go away. The
configure script checks for the actual files, not some symbolic package
name.
