Hi,

Thank you for the information.  There is no specific error that I'm 
getting.  The flatpak compiles fine, but the installed app can not see 
the Gnome Platform libraries once installed.  I tried taking out

--exec-prefix=/bin from the simple build-system command

- python3 setup.py install --prefix=/app --exec-prefix=/bin

but it made no difference in whether Gramps could see the Gnome Platform 
libraries.  So right now I am trying

- python3 setup.py install --prefix=/app 
--exec-prefix=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

The problem with Gramps not seeing some of the Gnome Platform libraries 
is that Gramps is not fully functional in some things.  For example, 
since Gramps can not see enchant2 in the Gnome Platform, I had to 
manually add enchant-1 along with some other dependencies into the 
manifest to get spell checking to work.  I couldn't get enchant2 to 
compile into the manifest, so I used the obsolete enchant1.  That 
bothers me, and I would prefer to make the flatpak smaller with access 
to up to date Gnome libraries rather than include a lot of extra 
dependencies.

Thank you,

Scott
