Considering how many talented programmers are associated with Sourceforge, I too am surprised that this program requires the Terminal; especially considering how many years it has now been in development. Considering how many other, more user-friendly genealogy programs are currently available for the Mac, I think that unless an Aqua GUI is written for this app, it isn't going to acquire much of a following . . . but then, maybe the targeted audience is specifically UNIX geeks, of which I am not one. :)
