 Running GRASS 7.0.1svn(64bit)-2015-02-21, Python 2.7.0, wxPython 2.8.12.0,
 Linux-2.6.35.14-106.fc14.x86_64-x86_64-with-fedora-14

 running g.extension (from gui or from command line) gives:

 --snip--
 g.extension extension=r.damflood svnurl=http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-
 addons/grass7
 Fetching <r.damflood> from GRASS-Addons SVN repository (be patient)...

 --snip--

 where g.extension appears to be wanting to write temporary files while
 compiling (and installing?) to a directory with root privileges, instead
 of at $HOME/.grass7/addons which based on manual pages should be the
 default local directory if "s" flag is not set.

 I have had same problem with various GRASS-6 versions (where I simply
 stopped trying to install addons), except for
 GRASS-6.4.4svn-x86_64-02-11-2013, where g.extension works but with
 messages like:

 --snip--
 /usr/local/grass6.4.4svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-
 02_11_2013/include/Make/Grass.make:423: warning: overriding
 recipe for target `/home/rick/data/grassdata/ns-nad83-utm-
 25m-
 10m/PERMANENT/.tmp/localhost.localdomain/7565.0/r.flip/bin'
 --snip--

 as an apparent work-around, which allowed addons to be installed into
 $HOME/.grass6/addons directory.
