[GRASS-user] problems running grass7 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Chad Ferguson]

Nikos,

I did as you suggested.  Uninstalled, added the ppa and reinstalled but
unfortunately I am receiving the same error--

 /usr/lib/grass70/etc/Init.sh: No such file or directory

It seems as though I am missing some sort of shell script, the Init.sh??  I
can see the directory.

Very frustrating.
