Justin,
<p>You have downloaded the precompiled binary version. You can check
out the instructions for using that version - see the README file in the
directory you downloaded grass from, or if you wish to compile yourself,
go back to the download page:
<p> <a href="http://www.baylor.edu/~grass/download.html"> Grass download
page</a>
<p>and follow the link for Source Code for Grass5.0beta.
<p>Good luck,
<p>Malcolm

Malcolm,
I re- tarred the grass tarball in the /opt/grass5sources directory. The
tar -xvf command did not uncompress a directory called grass5.0beta10 in
the /opt/grass5sources directory. It did make the following directories:
bin,
bwidget,dev,documents,driver,etc,fonts,include,lib,man,scripts,tcltkgrass,and
txt. There is a file called grass5 in the directory but it is only a
file of an unkown type. What am I doing wrong? Is there a problem with
the gzip file I downloaded?
Thanks,
Justin S.
