Does it work with Windows (tm)? -In principle, it could. GRAMPS depends on Python (http://www.python.org) -and GNOME (http://www.gnome.org), so as long as these two are available, -GRAMPS will work.

This, however, may change in the future. - -GRAMPS is being developed and tested on Linux, and virtually all Linux -distributions satisfy the requirements for GRAMPS. +No. GRAMPS uses the GTK and GNOME libraries. While the GTK libraries +have been ported to Windows, the GNOME libraries have not. +This, however, may change in the future. 4. Does it work with the Mac? -A port of GRAMPS to Mac OS X exists from the Fink project -(http://fink.sf.net/pdb/package.php/gramps). It is not unusual -for this version to lag behind the Linux version. The port is not supported -by the GRAMPS project (since few if any of us have Macs), but we try to -help out where we can. +The Fink project (http://fink.sf.net) has ported an old version of +GRAMPS (0.8.0) to OSX. The Mac OSX port is not directly supported by +the GRAMPS project, primarily because none of the GRAMPS developers +have access to Mac OSX. -If you have problems installing the Mac port, you will need to contact -the Fink project. If you encounter a run time bug or have issues not -specifically related to the Mac, contact the GRAMPS project. +The GNOME 2 version of GRAMPS (0.9.x) does not appear to have been +ported by the Fink project.
