{{cleanupstub}}GRAMPS 3.2.0 has been successfully installed and tested on Solaris 11 Express (SPARC platform) by building GRAMPS from source.

* '''Install dependencies'''GRAMPS 3. Since Solaris doesn't come with Gnome, Python, or any Python modules by default, you will need to install all this stuff0. Gnome might be 1 has been successfully installed and tested on one both the latest releases of the extra CDs, but I usually just bring it down Solaris 10 (SPARC platform) and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSolaris OpenSolaris] 2008.05 (X86 platform) by building GRAMPS from the original sitesource.

* ===Installing Dependencies===Even with the latest releases of Solaris/OpenSolaris a number of missing dependencies need to be resolved before you can install GRAMPS, namely ''Berkeley DB'', ''Python BSDDB Interface'Configure GRAMPS'and ''. All you need to do is run the configure script:<code> ./configure</code>If you have built Gnome or Python with <code>iconv</code> libraries other than what Solaris comes with (the GNU version for example), you can specify to GRAMPS where to find them:<code> ICONV=/dir/to/iconv ReportLab''./configure</code>Other options to configure that are useful include telling it to setup GRAMPS to install in a directory of your choosing instead of the default:<code> ./configure --prefix=/your/dest/dir</code>

You will need to install these dependencies before you can move forward and install GRAMPS. ====Berkeley DB====* Download the BSDDB core from [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/db www.oracle.com]. For the GRAMPS 3.0.1 installation I've used Berkeley DB 4.5.20 (although 4.6/4.7 is available I found a number of db corruptions while using these later releases so I stuck with the trusted 4.5x version).* Unpack, build and install % gtar zxfB db-4.5.20.tar.gz % cd db-4.5.20/build_unix % ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr % gmake % su # gmake install'''Note:''' Using the '''--prefix=/usr'''make on the configure command-line is a must under Solaris, without installing the Berkeley DB in this location Python BSDDB interface fails to install. ====Python BSDDB Interface====* Download bsddb3-4.5.0.tar.gz from [http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net pybsddb.sourceforce.net].* Unpack, build and install % gtar zxfB bsddb3-4.5.0.tar.gz % cd bsddb3-4.5.0 % python setup.py build Found Berkeley DB 4.5 installation. include files in /usr/include library files in /usr/lib library name is libdb-4.5 running build running build_py running build_ext % su # python setup.py install'''Note:''' <code>You must download and build a version of the Python BSDDB Interface which supports the version of Berkeley DB installed on your system. ====Python ReportLab (do not need on 3.2 and later)====* Download Report 2.1 (latest version at the time of writing), from [http://www.reportlab.org/ftp www.reportlab.org/ftp]* Unpack, build and install % gtar zxfB ReportLab_2_1.tgz % cd reportlab_2_1/reportlab % python setup.py build % su # python setup.py install ===Installing GRAMPS=======Download & Unpack====* Download GRAMPS 3.0.1 (latest version at time of writing) from the GRAMPS [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Stable/ sourceforge.net] page.* Unpack % gtar zxvf gramps-3.0.1.tar.gz % cd gramps-3.0.1 ====Prebuild Changes====A small number of changes are needed prior to compiling and installing GRAMPS 3.0.1 on the Solaris platform =====configure=====Although the GRAMPS 3.0.1 package requires a python version of 2.5 or later. The Solaris build of python 2.4 works well with GRAMPS 3.0.1 and no issues have been noticed.
