David,

the configure script is located in the top level directory
of the GRASS CVS files.
You will have to download the *whole* grass6 CVS dir (see
instructions on GRASS download page) or get the weekly
CVS-snapshot.
If you then change into the grass6 dir you will find a
configure script there. Run it with

./configure

Now, I really think you should not mix old 6.0 modules
with 6.1CVS as there have been a myriad of changes in
between versions. I think your better choice is to
install the whole CVS version:

make
make install

and use that for your work instead of 6.0.
(it will install to /usr/local/grass-6.1.cvs by
default). Run it using:

grass61

The CVS version is much more functional and just as stable.

Best,

Benjamin
