 Working in the current svn version of GRASS 7, I tried to install r.stream
 via g.extension. First, I tried from the command line in the terminal.
 Here is what happened.

 {{{
 GRASS 7.0.svn (Spain_wgs84z30):~ > g.extension -s extension=wx.stream
 ERROR: install required. Please install 'install' first.
 }}}

 Then I tried from the g.extension menu item from the settings menu. Here
 is what I got in the console output window.

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/Applications/GRASS/GRASS-7.0.app/Contents/MacOS/etc
 /gui/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 1035, in OnInstallExtension

 SetFieldsCount(): This really should never happen, can we do
 away with m_nFields here?
 }}}


 Finally, I tried to launch g.extension from the terminal command line. The
 module launches. But when I try to install r.stream, I get the same

  "ERROR: install required. Please install 'install' first."

 message.

 Then I tested in the GRASS 6 series.

 g.extension launches fine in both 6.5 and 6.4.2. However, almost
 everything fails to compile because...

 {{{
 make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
 }}}

 However, the r.stream.* modules do compile because they ignore targets set
 and put everything on the desktop.

 In all cases, the values set for GRASS_ADDON_PATH is ignored by
 g.extension.

 [An aside: it is not possible to pick 6.4.2 or all versions for the
 version in the online trac application]
