Nice one, cheers. That solves the challenge.

Yep: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu#Dependencies

  "download latest source code from GRASS SVN repository in a directory on the     
system (e.g. /usr/local/src)

  svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 \ 
grass_current

  Above command places GRASS' source code in /usr/local/src/grass_trunk...."

For the text to remain consistent in the example (and for beginners of 
compiling and using linux, e.g. me!)) this should fix any confusion:

svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 \ 
/usr/local/src/grass_trunk


Thanks
