Hi,<br><br>in fact it's pretty easy to have multiple grass install on your computer: you just need to follow the instructions on <a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Ubuntu">http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Ubuntu</a>, and use the --prefix=/opt/grass64 (or whatever you want)<br>
<br>on my gentoo box, i have a regular grass-6.4.1, and a compiled 6.4-svn, grass-6.5, and grass-7 without any trouble!<br><br><br><br>cheers,<br>Sylvain<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/10/13 Shane Litherland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:litherland-farm@bigpond.com">litherland-farm@bigpond.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi all,<br>
<br>
So, I know one can have a 'working' GRASS and a 'try-if-you-dare' GRASS<br>
on the one computer... a quick web search on how to do multiple grass<br>
installs gave me more info on laying turf than on computing though!<br>
<br>
The GRASS wiki has good info on compiling from source, but didn't see<br>
anything clear about how to set up a testing GRASS without it<br>
interfering with my existing, functional one.<br>
<br>
Any tips on where/what to read to get this right? am on ubuntu 10.04,<br>
working with GRASS 6.4.1, want to try the 6.4.2RC to check if a few<br>
glitches I am aware of have been sorted out.<br>
<br>
I probably read info about this months/years ago but need to update<br>
myself before I blunder on into compiling from source-code!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Shane.<br>
