This seems one step forward, I built and installed qgis from source
and before GRASS6.4.3. After removing a package called grass-core
(which probably comes with the QGIS and causes the problems) both
GRASS and QGIS starts. During the QGIS make I set the GRASS prefix
to my original /usr/local/grass6.4.3.

Anyway I couldn't fine anything how to build/install the GRASS-QGIS plugin.
Are there any instructions? Trying to install it via apt-get fails because:
Depends: qgis (= 1.8.0-1~precise1) but 20120824-1 (self-compiled) is
to be installed.

BTW both QGIS and GRASS are installed via checkinstall. I am not
really convinced
if it really needed or if it might cause any problems (with versions
etc)? Would it get
very messy if just "sudo make install" is used? Any recommendations on that?
