At the GRASS 6.4.1 prompt, when I type:<br>
<br>
g.extension extension=v.strahler<br>
<br>
v.strahler is retrieved successfully and compiles, but then I get the message:<br>
<br>
Installing <v.strahler>...<br>
You need to enter the root password next to install v.strahler:<br>
Password:<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
sudo g.extension extension=v.strahler<br>
<br>
I get the message:<br>
<br>
GRASS 6.4.1 (ffpi):~/grass/data > sudo g.extension extension=v.strahler<br>
[sudo] password for teaiii:<br>
sudo: g.extension: command not found<br>
<br>
I'm at a loss what to do. Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Tom<br>
