[GRASS-user] grass 7 and ubuntu start up

[Matthew Mulbrandon]

Ok this is the error when I start the latest grass7 in ubuntu 9.10 (from below)
matthew at matthew-laptop:~$ grass70

WELCOME TO GRASS              Version 7.0.svn         2010

   1) Have at your side all available GRASS tutorials

   2) When working on your location, the following materials
      are extremely useful:
      - A topo map of your area
      - Current catalog of available computer maps

   3) Check the GRASS webpages for feedback mailinglists and more:
      http://www.grass-gis.org
      http://grass.osgeo.org
