- make install requires "sudo" under Ubuntu.

- a reminder that the last step ("sudo make install") can be avoided 
completely and grass sessions can be launched directly from within the 
"/geo/osgeo/src/grass64_release/bin.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/" directory.

e.g., I use the following link:

/usr/local/bin/grass64 -> /geo/osgeo/src/grass64_release/bin.x86_64-unknown-
linux-gnu/grass64

Also, in case one wants to install the compiled binaries, the program 
"checkinstall" is a good option instead of "make install". It creates a .deb 
package and installs it which can be easily uninstalled of course.

Cheers, Nikos
