I just got a Umbuntu Linux box and I'm having all sorts of trouble installing GRASS 6.4.1 from source -- in the past, this process has been very simple on RedHat.

In case of errors please change into the directory with error and run 'make'.
If you get multiple errors, you need to deal with them in the order they
appear in the error log. If you get an error building a library, you will
also get errors from anything which uses the library.

Any suggestions?
