→Why install latest version ?: bugs were related to the 2.2 version of Gramps
'''This guide is for version {{version}} of Gramps, for earlier versions, you need to manually change python files!'''
-== Why install the latest version ? ==Some errors have happened in the past outside of Grampsversion 2.2.x, with the [[Database_Backends#BSDDB_Backend|BSDDB database ]] format Gramps usesused. See Bugs: {{bug|110}} and {{bug|814}}
It can be expected that recompiling BSDDB could solve the problemthose problems. However, if BSDDB needs to be recompiled, one can might as well install the latest version.
Furthermore, the people of pybsddb PyBSDDB (the Python "bindings" project for the Oracle Berkeley DB) recommend doing a local compile if the use of BSDDB is critical.
For genealogists needing Gramps this , a stable database could certainly be considered truea critical need.
