Hi Markus,
Please correct me if I am wrong.

That should  read GRASS 4.2.1 (V.20), isn't it?

If one is compiling from source on libc.so.5 based systems the
CURSES              = -lncurses $(TERMLIB)
line in the "../src421/src/CMD/head/linux" file also needs to
be edited as below;

CURSES              = -lcurses $(TERMLIB)

since libc.so.5 based systems normally curses instead of ncurses.
I just compiled from the source file but needed to make the above
change on my libc.so.5 based system.
