Hi,

I am probably the one to fix that.  Could you give me some more details
please:

* this is the version with "grass-core" and "grass-gui" packages, yes?
* is the "grass-dev" package installed? it is needed.
* what is the exact error message you get? (full cut and paste is best)
* Are you using g.extension from the command line, or from the wxGUI?
  (they are different)
* if you look in the /usr/lib/grass64/include/Make/Platfrom.make file,
do GRASS_HOME and RUN_GISBASE point to /usr/lib/grass64 or somewhere else?


If the grass-dev package _is_ installed, please file a bug in the trac
system for this with as much info as possible:
  https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/newticket


(newer versions of the 6.4.2 package will give you a warning when you
try to use g.extension.sh from the command line without the grass-dev
package installed; I still need to add the deb patch for g.ext.py ver)


thanks,
Hamish
