Re: [Gramps-bugs] opening .grdb database or attempting to create a new one

[Kevin R. <rei...@al...>]

Don,

Thanks for your response.

I have both db41 (db-4.1.25_4) and db42 (db-4.2.52_5) installed through 
Ports. (FreeBSD allows db4, 41, 42, 43, and 44 to coexist peacefully).

For the time being I've downgraded to gramps-2.0.11_1, which has db41 as 
a dependency.

Which version of db should I use with gramps-2.2? (i.e. which version 
are most Linux folks using now? db44?)

Thanks,
Kevin Reinholz

FreeBSD seems to ship with an older version of libdb by default. If you
upgrade this, GRAMPS should work.
