It does not cover installation of a pre-built binary package. For that use your package manager, the rest is already done by the packager. +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 (just delete the 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. configure vs autogen scripts ----------------------------
