[GRASS-user] g.extension - ERROR: G_getenv(): Variable LOCATION_NAME not set

[Eric Momsen]

Not sure if I should be sending this to the mail list or reporting it
as a bug?  Seems I am doing everything right, but I still have a lot
to learn.  I hope I am missing something easy???

I want to add some extensions for all users on a shared virtual
machine (Gnome, Debian, GRASS 6.4.2RC3 (2012) ).  I have run gksudo
'grass64 -gui' and used the GUI for g.extension to install an
extension system wide.  Below is the error I received.  I checked the
environment settings, and the variable LOCATION_NAME is set.

I then tried the Download Source option -it did download the
i.landsat.toar file, but neither of the listed commands in the output
would work. (The second set of output for this attempt.)

If there isn't a quick answer, would it be easier to just run from
source with GRASS 7?  We are currently all logging into the same
virtual machine, so the admin efficiency of being able to deploy a
package isn't a big issue.

Any suggestions?  Thanks,
Eric
