I had this problem as well and I used a "user level" solution....<br>
I started grass with sudo (sudo grass) and then created a new mapset
(u can' t have access to the previous ones) to enter grass.<br>
After that you can install extensions without being prompted for a
root password. Then exit and enter grass as usual.<br>

<pre wrap="">All:
At the GRASS 6.4.1 prompt, when I type:
g.extension extension=v.strahler
v.strahler is retrieved successfully and compiles, but then I get the message:
Installing <v.strahler>...
You need to enter the root password next to install v.strahler:
Password:
The problem is, Ubuntu does not allow a root password (I don't have one) and of course my password is not acceptable. If, instead, I try:
sudo g.extension extension=v.strahler
I get the message:
GRASS 6.4.1 (ffpi):~/grass/data > sudo g.extension extension=v.strahler
[sudo] password for teaiii:
sudo: g.extension: command not found
I'm at a loss what to do. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Tom
