Hi @Nick-Hall @prculley and jralls You’ve all been working hard on resolving the bsddb3 stumbling block with Gramps 5.2 beta 1 AIO port. After spending some time figuring out what exactly is going on with the bsddb3 package not being available on MSYS2, and also how berkeleydb is different from bsd…

[image] codefarmer: release of berkeleydb with fix is available, we can request MSYS2 maintainers to create a new package for berkeleydb I can get it to build with bsddb3 by copying the files from the python3.10 to the python3.11 directories.

I’m currently trying to find files in the share.tgz archive elsewhere.

That’s awesome and I was hoping that would work for the short term; the only doubt is that bsdbb3’s author states emphatically on the bsddb3 project page ( @prculley posted the link the PR), bsddb3 supports up to Python 3.9. It will not support Python 3.10. You are using Python 3.x > 3.9 and you n…

There is now a GrampsAIO available for testing. Make sure to backup your data before using this beta test version of Gramps.

Starting 5.2 in windoze with the last loaded Tree in 5.15 being a BSDDB fressh import of the Example.gramps testing tree: [image] [image] 393899: ERROR: dbloader.py: line 107: can't load database backend: 'bsddb' Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.2.0\gramp…

That’s unfortunate. It looks like we can’t get the build script provided in PR #1444 to install the bsddb backend. I tried installing python 3.10 but I can’t get older versions of python to work with pip. I’m not a Windows user myself, so I think that I’ll have to let the community progress this. …

Is there a manual process for adding that bsddb backend? With that, so that we can determine if it is compatible with a broader cross-section of Windoze boxes? That will help decide whether resolving the Installer issue is worthwhile.

I suppose you could compile it from source. I was trying to use an old mingw64 package.
