Hi,

I have no idea what happened in your case but as I remember, you can just
type "sh ginstall" then the installation srcipt will ask you which directory
you want to install GRASS.

I downloaded GRASS binary files from moon.cecer.army.mil 7 months ago but I
delete all of them because I am doing several projects which need some
GRASS programs written by Purdue and Oklahoma universities. According
original author said I need to download GRASS source code and recompile
those programs with it. Anyway, the command I mentioned above should work,
at least it worked in my case several months ago.
