Hi,

Before installing QGIS (at the time when GRASS is still launching), there is no
grass64 folder in /usr/lib but there is the folder
/usr/local/grass6.4.3SVN. This seems
the location where the command grass64 is probably pointing to.
I am not sure what is the "correct" directory for a selfcompiled GRASS
installation
using checkinstall? And I need to build GRASS myself (different
versions, add ons,
own scripts and add-ons etc.) and the GRASS compilation itself is not
the problem.

After installing QGIS (even from the  "ubuntugis-unstable" ppa) the
usr/lib/grass64 is
existing. So the QGIS installation (even without the GRASS plugin)
installs a version
of GRASS64 and this installation seems to change the link of grass64
to the new installation.
So probably just the link for grass64 has to be reset again to my
"real" GRASS6.4?!

I tried to reinstall GRASS GIS after the QGIS installation using
"make -j2 && sudo checkinstall && sudo ldconfig" but the problem still
remains, although
I thought that the ldconfig might solve the problem.
