Made from the latest sourceforge debian release. It needs the attached libdb-4.4.so.pet, plus Technosaurus's Python%2B-2.6.4-i486.pet.

I've uploaded to mediafire here:

gramps-3.4.2-1.pet (3.22Mbytes)
gramps-NLS-3.4.2-1.pet (4.42Mbytes)

Run via Menu>Personal>Personal Info>Gramps

If you want to try the debian graphviz & ttf-freefont packages, I've converted them to pets here:

graphviz-2.26.3-12-i386.pet
ttf-freefont-20090104-5.pet


N.B. If run from the commandline it will give an error about missing spell checker.

I follow the order of installation as above. There it is under menu, personal.

Thank you so much, for all the hard work you've done!!

I downloaded and installed the four packages.
I found gramps in the personal tab.
However, it will not execute the program.
I installed the Lucid puppy 528

Dell latitude c400, 1.2 ghz, 800mb ram

Thanks for you help.

Hello Zippytex,

I don't have an install of lupu528, but I do of lupu528-004-alt, which is pretty much the same, under the hood. On that I just installed the gramps pet, and it definitely started from the menu, and also from the commandline. (with a couple of errors with the latter about missing spellchecker, and some other plugin).

When you downloaded the pets, did you use a downloader that can resume breaks in trransmission? Because perhaps one the downloads was corrupted. For mediafire, (for the gramps package), you can just use, (in a console):

It gave index.html as a place to go to. I opened the file and it took me to a century web site with nothing to do with gramps.

http://webhelper.centurylink.com/index.php?origURL=file%3A///root/index.html&r=

the above is where the index.html took me to.

Thanks

It was a case of not knowing where to put the extracted file, so I made up a folder and extracted it there.

I downloaded the python +-2.6.4-i486.pet and extracted it to a folder I created called 'downloads/extract' and the extraction created a folder called Python+-2.6.4-i486. Inside that folder were two more folders, called, usr and var and file called pet.specs.
Inside the usr file are two folders called, bin and lib.
Inside the bin folder were files called python and python2.6
I merged the all the files to the 'real' storage place for these files, root/usr

Now it works. I hope I haven't screwed it up for anything else. I would have to just reformat and start all over.

I need to learn more about extraction and where to do it.

Thanks!

When I start to install it, it asks me do I want to install it in an existing archive or make a new one. What do I answer? Thanks

I do not know what I did the first time, but this time I downloaded all four packages and installed them (I do not remember the order). It worked! Before it had been in personal, but would not execute, but this time, it did! I sure do thank you for all your hard work!! It means a lot to me!. I installed gramps on a Dell latitude c400 (ultra-light) with 1 gb memory, 1.2ghz cpu, running slacko. I was going to run roots magic with wine, but gramps is better. Thanks!

Thanks for these! I'm new to Puppy, and these .pets got me off on the right foot.

After installing Gramps-3.3.1 as described above, making .pets for the latest Gramps-3.4.0 was a snap. I uninstalled Gramps-3.3.1 before I installed these, and they seem to work just fine. Enjoy!
