<br><div>> I'm trying to install GRASS 6.4.2 on Ubuntu. However when I launch GRASS it<br>> says it is version 6.4.1. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? <br>> <br><br>You are right, the only reason is that grass 6.4.2 still are not available<br>in Ubuntu repositories..<br><br>In this moment if you want grass 6.4.2 version in Ubuntu, you should download the<br>source code from here:<br><br>http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php<br><br>Download this file:<br><br>grass-6.4.2.tar.gz<br><a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/source/grass-6.4.2.tar.gz"></a><br>and compile the source code. The instruction to do it, is here:<br><br>http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install<br><br><br>Regards<br><br>John Ortiz<br>Geologist<br>Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.<br>Panama<br><br>> Using this URL...<br>> http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php<br>> http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php <br>> I clicked on the 'Ubuntu' link in the 'Stable 6.4.2' section.<br>> However the page it takes me to says it is an unstable version so I dont<br>> know if this is a faulty link...<br>> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable<br>> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable <br>> In the package list it includes "6.4.1-2~oneiric1"<br>> I'm not sure what this means. Does it mean version 6.4.1 to 6.4.2 are<br>> included and if so is there a way to select which one to install?<br>> <br>> I gave the above ago and following the instructions...<br>> I uninstalled a previous version of GRASS and then I typed this into the the<br>> console:<br>> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable<br>> sudo apt-get update<br>> sudo apt-get install grass<br>> grass <br>> <br>> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
