#* This was the last problem for me. To get around the error, I had to create a soft link for the ''libintl.3.dylib'' file in my /opt/local/lib/ directory.
==== And this is another error message that happened in March 2009 ====
 
When I did
sudo port install gnome-desktop
I saw
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/nosetests
is being used by the active py-nose port. Please deactivate this port first,
or use the -f flag to force the activation.
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: py25-gnome py25-gtk py25-cairo
py25-numpy py25-nose py25-gobject py25-orbit startup-notification xorg-libsm xorg-libice
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 
and I have no idea what it means or what deactivating a port implies. I typed
sudo port -f install gnome-desktop
and got
Registry error: py25-nose @0.10.4_0 already registered as installed.
Please uninstall it first.
so I typed
sudo port uninstall py25-nose
sudo port -f install gnome-desktop
and that seemed to work. Goodness knows what chaos I caused!

As well as OpenOffice, [http://www.graphviz.org/ Graphviz] is needed to view reports. You have to download and install this separately from gramps but it's a simple click-to-install procedure. Once it's installed, the graphviz application appears in finder - applications, and running that gives a menu bar that allows the report.dot file to be opened and displayed. The command line version of graphviz, dot, documented at the graphviz website, works too.
