Can you start it from a terminal prompt? (just type "grass" at the
prompt) You will then see any error messages without the window
disappearing on you.

If you are a beginner, I would stick with the official Debian packages
which by now are fairly well tested. The generic 6.1 binaries are not
made specifically for a Debian system and may be much more problematic
to get working correctly.
