The following packages *MUST* be installed in order for Gramps to work:
Python 2.7 or greater, Python 3.2 or greater (or both python versions)
GTK 3.0 or greater
pygobject 3.3.2 or greater
cairo, pango, pangocairo with instrospection bindings (the gi packages)
librsvg2 (svg icon view)
xdg-utils

The following package is needed for full translation of the interface
to your language:
language-pack-gnome-xx
Translation of GTK elements to your language, with
xx your language code eg for Dutch you need
language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the
Gramps strings is included with the source code.

The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
osmgpsmap Used to show maps in the geography view.
Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Geography_Category
The package is named osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map
or python-osmgpsmap. Or obtain it from: http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/
GraphViz Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine.
Without this no beautiful graphs can be created.
Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org

Obtain it from: http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/download.html

The following packages are optional
gtkspell Enable spell checking in the notes. Gtkspell depends on
enchant. A version of gtkspell with gobject introspection

webkit and Gramps is stable. If you obtain crashes, patch
src/plugins/view/htmlrenderer.py and
src/plugins/view/geoview.gpr.py, so as to remove:
from gi.repository import WebKit as webkit
