[GRASS5] grass5.0beta

[Malcolm Blue]

Justin,

You have downloaded the precompiled binary version.  You can check out
the instructions for using that version - see the README file in the
directory you downloaded grass from, or if you wish to compile yourself,
go back to the download page:

  Grass download page

and follow the link for Source Code for Grass5.0beta.

Good luck,

Malcolm
