→Spell Check Install
On Ubuntu 12.10 (as of December 1, 2012), or Linux Mint 14 (as of December 24, 2012), you need only ('''replace python with python3 if you want to run the python 3 version!'''):
sudo apt-get install python-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev sudo apt-get-install python-cairo-dev python-gobject-dev libgirepository1.0-dev
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-freedesktop python-gi python-gobject python-gi-cairo
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-pango-1.0 libgtkspell-3-0 python-gtkspell
sudo apt-get install python-pyicu
Old note ''The removal of python-gnome2 (and anything that relies on it) is necessary apparently because some "selectors" have not yet been converted. The right thing to do here is to fix the selectors rather than removing the package.'''
You can also run Gramps 4.0+ in [[GEPS_031:_Python_3_support#Ubuntu_12.10|Python 3]] first Install the Python BSDDB interface and check that it [[Install_latest_BSDDB#Python_BSDDB_interface|works]] sudo apt-get install python3-bsddb3
You will probably want these optional packages:
As of 25 July 2012, the Debian repositories does not contain sufficiently up-to-date python GObject introspection packages and so need to be installed from the experimental repository, which currently contains version 3.4.2-2. Perhaps the simplest way to install is just to download the latest packages from the Debian packages web site. The files required can be found for different architectures at:
* <del>[http://packages.debian.org/experimental/python-gi python-gi]</del> Error: Package not available in this suite.
* [http://packages.debian.org/experimental/python-gi-cairo python-gi-cairo]
=== Spell Check Install ===
For working spell check, you need [http://gtkspell.sourceforge.net/ gtkspell 3.gtkspell3 3.0].
(In Ubuntu 12.10, this is available in your distribution as the libgtkspell-3-0 packageis not suitable [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtkspell3/+bug/1114403] as it is API incompatible with the official release 3. 0.0, released on 2012-11-12 )
If the package is not in your distributions packages, you need to compile the spell check. For this, obtain the GtkSpell 3.GtkSpell3 3.0 or later source code, and extract the code to a directory, eg gtkspell3, and go into this directory using the terminal.
Before continuing, remove any old version of gtkspell v3 you might have installed before!
Now obtain the packages needed to compile this code. In my case I had most Install the program 'hg' to get the code. sudo apt-get install mercurial Download the Gtkspell code (see above installation introspection for other packages that might be needed)with: hg clone <nowiki>http://hg. I still needed code.sf.net/p/gtkspell/code</nowiki> gtkspell-code You may need to install the following: sudo apt-get install gtk-doc-tools libenchant-devvalac
You may also need gtk3 devel packages:
sudo apt-get install gtk+-3.0-dev
Now compile and install the code
./configureautogen.sh
make
sudo make install
Gramps now needs to find the gtkspell typelib and introspection lib. The first I achieve by By copying the typelib to the correct location:
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/girepository-1.0/GtkSpell-3.0.typelib /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/
The lib can be found by path by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Hence, start Gramps as follows:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib python src/grampsGramps.py
If you followed the guide above and compiled your own pygobject module, you need to start Gramps with the command
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib python src/grampsGramps.py [[File:Gtkspell working on gramps40.png|thumb|300px|Gtkspell working on gramps40 - You can tell because it does not recognise the word Gramps in the welcome Gramplet]]{{-}} ==== Install your Dictionary ==== Note, dictionnaries provided by hunspell work fine and have unicode support. If your language is missing from the list of dictionaries to spellcheck against you can install them. eg: For Australian English: sudo apt-get install myspell-en-au hunspell-en-au You can check that the language installed correctly by running enchant-lsmod -list-dicts
The result should list all the language dictionaries installed and include the one you installed
eg:
en_AU (myspell)
en_AU (hunspell)
==== Old install method ====
we need a patched gtkspell version that supports gobject introspection. A working version is the '''changes''' branch at [https://github.com/manisandro/gtkspell3/tree/changes https://github.com/manisandro/gtkspell3/tree/changes]. So one needs to install this version of gtkspell. The python-gtkspell code is then no longer needed, and can be removed. Source of this code is a sourceforge bug entry [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3298132&group_id=7896&atid=107896] and a redhat bug entry: [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675504]
Gramps supports this version since revision 20130: [http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvcp/gramps/code/20130/tree/trunk/src/gui/spell.py?r1=20057&r2=20130].
First we install the git package to obtain the code:
=== OsmGpsMap for Geography ===
The [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography ]] requires osmgpsmap. Introspection bindings for this is not currently available, so you need to compile it.As it doesn't work correctly for from the moment and some patches are not in git, I forked osmgpsmap.repository listed below:
==== Download from the home site ==== http://nzjrs.github.io/osm-gps-map/ Download the tar source and do : tar zxvf osm-gps-map-1.0.1.tar.gz cd osm-gps-map-1.0.1 ==== Download from github ==== You can also continue to use git to get the last development version : git clone git://github.com/SNoiraudnzjrs/osm-gps-map.git
cd osm-gps-map
As I'm currently modifying osm-gps-mapwe can have some new patches, If you already have osm-gps-map and you want to get the last version, do :
git pull
==== How to compile osm-gps-map ==== You might have all your dependencies as if you already compiled pygobjectas explained above. For Ubuntu you still need packages libsoup2.4-dev and libsoup2.4
You may also need gtk3 and gobject-introspection devel packages: sudo apt-get install gtk+-3.0-devlibgirepository1.0-dev checkinstall and some other stuff like: sudo apt-get install gnome-common gtk-doc-tools
Now compile osmgpsmap:
make
sudo make install
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/girepository-1.0/OsmGpsMap-1.0.8.typelib /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/
To use this now, you have to, or remove the installed version of osmgpsmap on your computer, or set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point at the installed version. EgUsing the latter, I you can start Gramps in trunk with:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ python src/grampsGramps.py
or
First sets library to ''/usr/local/lib'' so as to find osmgpsmap and gtkspell, second ''/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/'' to find the local install of pygobject
An easier way is to do it with checkinstall:
gnome-autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo checkinstall make install
then you don't need all the path wizardry, and can later manage the package via the package management system
=== GExiv2 for Image metadata ===
As at 9 Mar 2013 Fedora 18 only has a libgexiv2-0.4.1-3.fc18.i686.rpm. and
version 0.5 (released October 2012) is needed in order to have the Python
bindings for GExiv2.
The GExiv2 maintainer's homepage is: redmine.yorba.org/projects/gexiv2/wiki
which points to the latest sources, and tells you how to compile it.
But to compile a Fedora 18 GExiv2 library, you need to have installed both
exiv2-devel-0.23-3.fc18.i686.rpm and exiv2-libs-0.23-3.fc18.i686.rpm also.
And you also need (unless you already have the /usr/bin/g-ir-scanner program)
gobject-introspection-devel-1.34.2-1.fc18.i686.rpm too -- but that requires
pkgconfig (which I already had) and also libffi-devel-3.0.10-3.fc18.i686.rpm
for it to be happy.
The 0.5 GExiv2 sources are in www.yorba.org/download/gexiv2/0.5. There you
can download "libgexiv2-0.5.0.tar.xz" (not .bz2 or .gz) -- which will again
only be necessary if Fedora has not yet updated its official RPM (to 0.5).
Then, make a temporary directory and copy libgexiv2-0.5.0.tar.xz into it.
Then "cd" into that directory and say "tar xpfJ libgexiv2-0.5.0.tar.xz".
Then "cd" into the "libgexiv2-0.5.0" it made, and type:
./configure --enable-introspection --prefix=/usr
make
(with the "/usr" being needed to override the "/usr/local" default)
Then say (as root):
make install
Since I already had Python3 installed on that F18, along with the Python2
which came with the F18, the "make install" put GExiv2.py into both the
python2.7 and python3.3 site-packages/gi/overrides directories, thus enabling
it on both. If you only have one Python it will put it only there.
As a test, in both (for me) "python" and "python3" say:
from gi.repository import GExiv2
Let's not tell users that they should install self-built software into /usr. They shouldn't, and neither should you.
Either /usr/local or /opt are better choices and more-or-less standard practice. To make the library findable one
should either add the directory of choice to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig(8) or add it to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in one's profile.
FWIW it seems a bit simpler with Linux Mint Debian Update 6
(Cinnamon)
libexiv, etc, etc............. are already installed or can
be installed via synaptic.
Then
git clone git://git.yorba.org/gexiv2" to get gexiv2 0.5;
going into gexiv2/ and running
./configure --enable-introspection
make
(as root) make install"
installs in usr/local
And
python3
from gi.repository import GExiv2"
tests OK.

This works best if you have the debug symbols installed for everything relevant, or are running from a self-built treebuilt with debugging CFLAGS (-g -O0). At a minimum, in addition to Python itself, you'll need symbols for Gtk+ (libgtk-3.0.so and libgdk-3.0.so), PyGObject, and GLib. To see the python stack: (gdb) pystack This works with gdb7 as-is; for earlier versions, you need to install [http://svn.python.org/view/*checkout*/python/trunk/Misc/gdbinit?revision=77484 gdbinit] as .gdbinit in your home directory before starting gdb.On some systems (MacOS X in particular), the structure PyStringObject isn't exported in the debug symbols, so if you get the error No symbol "PyStringObject" in current context.then you need to tell gdb add-symbol-file /path/to/Python-build-dir/Objects/stringobject.owhich will be possible only if you've built Python from source.
