1) The DebianGIS project publishes backported packages of GRASS 6.0.2
and 6.1-cvs for Debian/Stable (sarge) as well as other geospatial
software (eg gdal 1.3.1).

see  http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

2) If you explore the "build depends" line in the package description
you can quickly figure out what packages you need to compile it
yourself. You can even use the debian package building framework as a
one line command. See the debian/ directory in the GRASS source code. 

see  http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/debian/

(Paulo, could you write up a quick README file for there on how to build
your own packages? I don't know the "correct" way.)


3) compile it yourself. If you get *latest* CVS code you can compile
with tcltk 8.4 and fftw3, otherwise use tcltk8.3 and fftw2 without
losing anything.

I think for the FFMPEG animation support in NVIZ you need to get some
non-Free packages from Christian Marillat's repository:

add to /etc/apt/sources.list:
 deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main


./configure step:  (season to taste)

CFLAGS="-ggdb -march=pentium4 -Wall" ./configure \
    --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.3 \
    --with-motif --with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
    --with-readline --with-cxx --with-glw --with-odbc --with-sqlite \
    --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
    --without-postgres \
    2>&1 | tee config_log.txt

# --with-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-includes=/usr/include/ffmpeg

$ make

To run GRASS, simply start (or symlink to)
$ ./bin.$ARCH/grass61

or, as root,
# make install
