Ok then there is no other option than to run in Linux.. right!<br>I have downloaded the full source code (grass-6.2.1.tar.gz) from the site <a href="http://grass.itc.it/download/index.php">http://grass.itc.it/download/index.php
</a>.<br>I have also installed Cygwin as directed in <a href="http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/mswindows/">http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/mswindows/</a><br>After decompression the file I am trying to compile the make file in Linux but it is showing compilation errors.
