Yes. But we have worked on this to make it better and released GRASS 6.4.2 recently: http://grass.osgeo.org/announces/announce_grass642.html "... This release includes over 770 updates to the source code since 6.4.1."

You may try the weekly binary snapshot: http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php#g64x -> Binaries -> Generic weekly snapshot I hope it is sufficiently compliant with Ubuntu since it is generated on a Debian machine. Sooner of later Ubuntu will update as well. Best Markus ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

Thank you for your input. Yes, I misspoke: I should have said that I was looking for relatively bug-free version of GRASS for Linux. I must also mention that the version of Linux installed on computers is beyond my control since it is a lab maintained by others. The version the computers are running is Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit ( https://launchpad.net/+help-soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html ). The "archaic" looking GRASS 6.4 came from ( https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable ): they reached this link from the following address ( http://grass.fbk.eu/download/software.php#g64x ). I realize that this is a mirror site in Europe and I think that this last link has some problematic versions of GRASS. I had Windows version (6.4) installed from this address for my class last semester and there were a lot of problems with mapcalc, gregion, and v.in.ogr. I will try finding the link for GRASS 7, which had problems so that it can be fixed. As for Linux GRASS 6.4 issue: I only typed GRASS in Terminal and GUI came up however, I will try what you suggested (grass64 -gui). Meanwhile, can anyone suggest a link for GRASS 6.4 for the version of Ubuntu I have to work with?

If you install a Linux distro package, it should come in either 64 or 32 bit depending on your system. Unfortunately some distros are quite lagging behind with the packaging. > I installed 6.4.2 from the US Tier#2 web site of GRASS (the link > gave the date of 2009) Can you please indicate the link?

Probably you did not start with "-gui" parameter and GRASS used an old (tcl) setting from a previous run of GRASS on that machine. Try (later it will remember): grass64 -gui > It is important that the version is free of bugs since it will be used for a > workshop designed for beginners. I will appreciate your suggestions. Say "minimized number of bugs" - bugfree software hardly exists.

Hi, As a follow-up on this issue, and as a person who never installed GRASS on Linux, I wanted to ask the Forum if there is a version of GRASS 6.x that will run on 32-bit system, which has a similar look to the most recent Unix interface. I installed 6.4.2 from the US Tier#2 web site of GRASS (the link gave the date of 2009) but I am sure that the interface looked archaic. It is important that the version is free of bugs since it will be used for a workshop designed for beginners. I will appreciate your suggestions. * I also installed GRASS 7 but there are issues with vector import and basic analyses.

is it known when Ubuntu and GRASS repos will be updated? I'm interested in a debian repo providing GRASS 6.4.2 could you please try the packages here: https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/grass-stable ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
