Comment(by manu):

 I'm on Ubuntu 11.10.

 I tried to compile 6.4.2 (release_20111115_grass_6_4_2RC2) with the build
 rules from DebianGIS  http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-
 grass/grass.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/rules;hb=HEAD but as with the
 package Makefile, compilation yielded some errors although final error
 message was "No errors detected." .

 Grass startup then crashes as discribed on other plateform
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694956, see below.

 Any hints?

 Cheers

 I run ./configure with the -with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4
 option.
