the attached instructions might help. It's easy enough.
Sorry for the confusing cut-and-paste job.

5.0.3 is in both the testing and unstable branches. It should be
possible to recompile the Debian package for woody[*], but you're right,
it's probably better to build from source at this point. I'm pretty sure
NVIZ is currently broken in the GRASS package too, because it doesn't
like Debian's tcl/tk8.4. (someone please speak up if I'm wrong)

[*] recompile & install with these two commands: (-t may take setup, RTM)
      apt-get -t testing --build source grass
      su -c "dpkg -i grass-x.y.z-1.deb"


good luck,
Hamish

The following gets pretty much everthing config'd in for me with a stock
installation of the current (feb 2002) Debian Woody 3.0. Any packages I
already had installed, well add them too- but I don't know what they
are. I have not shifted any files or set up any special links that I can
think of. Some of these packages may not really be needed..

apt-file was used for most of this discovery. It's a great utility.
