Then when I restart gramps from the command line again, it just leaps into executing the same error again, and again, and again. Gramps becomes permanently unusable. It continues to be unusable even after gramps customgramps has been rebuilt, and also after meta-gtk-osx-python (which contains cairo) has been rebuilt, so something I may have to go and buy a new iMac before gramps runs again. Ah, such is awry in the graphics code and maybe the whole lot needs rebuilding!life.
