Following the discussion, I would like to install GRASS 7 weekly snapshot. I relized the "Binary"
link (http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software/) but it points back to the Linux Download page,
but I could not find any binaries there for GRASS 7? Maybe this link should be removed?

Just wondering, but not a problem, as I am going to install from source anyway.

Thanks,

Rainer
