ping ppc, sparc
Comment 4 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-20 17:26:46 UTC
This presents a problem on sparc.  For me, gramps-3.1.1 triggers an immediate bus error if byte-compiled (.py[co]) files are used.  If I get rid of them, gramps seems to run, but some operations also trigger a bus error.  We can be pretty sure that generally python builds good .py[co] files because portage works.  I have no clue what to do with this.
Comment 5 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-20 17:49:50 UTC
Hm.  If I get rid of my original ~/.gramps directory it works better, but now segfaults if given the data.gramps file from the examples.  I can't tell at this point if it's working or not (it's better than -3.0.4 at least, I think).
Comment 6 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-20 18:10:57 UTC
Grrr.  With a reinstall with USE='gnome spell reports' and a refreshed examples directory, now gramps can import data.gramps.  I'd appreciate it if some other sparc person could confirm.  Right now, gramps seems to be working as it should (it can import files, export files, generate reports, ...), but the process to get there was a bit unusual and it took me several installs (all of which should have been identical).  What I *think* happened is this:  I suspect gramps does not run well with USE='-gnome'.

 The code is normally well capsulated with several try statements and on x86 it runs well without USE=gnome.  Anyway, I updated dependencies for 3.1.1-r1 but all of them are USE dependant.

Sparc stable (problem seems to have been stale data) and closing.
