Yes, I misspoke: I should have said that I was looking for relatively bug-free version of GRASS for Linux.

I realize that this is a mirror site in Europe and I think that this last link has some problematic versions of GRASS. I had Windows version (6.4) installed from this address for my class last semester and there were a lot of problems with mapcalc, gregion, and v.in.ogr. I will try finding the link for GRASS 7, which had problems so that it can be fixed.</div><div><br></div><div>As for Linux GRASS 6.4 issue: I only typed GRASS in Terminal and GUI came up however, I will try what you suggested (grass64 -gui). </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, can anyone suggest a link for GRASS 6.4 for the version of Ubuntu I have to work with?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Bulent</div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><div><div>On Mar 5, 2012, at 2:32 PM, Markus Neteler wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 12:59 PM, barikan <<a href="mailto:bulent.arikan@gmail.com">bulent.arikan@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote type="cite">Hi,<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">As a follow-up on this issue, and as a person who never installed GRASS on<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">Linux, I wanted to ask the Forum if there is a version of GRASS 6.x that<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">will run on 32-bit system, which has a similar look to the most recent Unix<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">interface.<br></blockquote><br>If you install a Linux distro package, it should come in either 64 or 32 bit<br>depending on your system.
