[GRASSLIST:2038] RE: GRASS on FreeBSD

[Andrew MacIntyre]

I'm certain that GRASS 5 has been ported to FreeBSD (though I'm not 
sure which actual release).  You should be able to find it in the 
FreeBSD ports collection - go to http://www.freebsd.org/ and follow 
the "Ported software" link.

You may also (haven't checked) find a binary package that can be 
installed with the pkg_add command.
