[Nikos Alexandris]

Hi!

(Assuming you work with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04)

I would remove everything related with grass and re-install again (using
Jachym's repository [1]). Open a terminal and...

1. execute the following command:

sudo apt-get purge grass


2. According to [1] edit the sources.list file which is under /etc/apt:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list


3. Add the 2 lines in the end of the file for example (although you can
add them anywhere else) as procided in [1]:

deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu hardy multiverse
deb-src http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu hardy multiverse


4. Save and close the sources.list file


5. Get Jachym's gpg signature

wget -q http://les-ejk.cz/pgp/jachym_cepicky-gpg.pub -O - | sudo apt-key
add -


6. Update and Upgrade

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade


7. install grass with:

sudo apt-get install grass


8. Launch grass with:

grass -gui


Good Luck, Nikos
