uninstall old version
---------------------
If you do a source install in the same place of an existing install,
you need to remove the old version first. You can delete the old
version by:
* deleting the installed directories (for example,
/usr/share/gramps)
* OR by running "make uninstall" from the old directory where you
ran "make install" (not the new GRAMPS directory)
GRAMPS is a python application, so loading happens on reading the
files, meaning that files of a previous version that are no longer
present in the new version can still be loaded, making the new install
unstable.
