<h1>How to install the Linux (x86/Intel) binary releases
 of GRASS 6.0.x in gzipped tar format.</h1>

<h2>Use at your own risk.</h2>

You can install and use GRASS 6.0 in parallel to GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4.
<h3>Installation:</h3>
<ol>
  <li>get the file <br>
grass-6.0.0-x.distro_version.hw-bin.tar.gz</li>
  <li>get the installation script <br>
grass-6.0.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh</li>
</ol>
<h4>where</h4>
<ul>
  <li>x: binary_version</li>
  <li>distro_version: Linux distribution with version</li>
  <li>hw: is the hardware architecture of your platform (e.g. i386)</li>
</ul>
<br>
For installation, run the install script with --help option:<br>
<ul>
  <li>sh grass-6.0.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh --help </li>
or <li>./grass-6.0.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh --help </li>
</ul>
<br>
Or without help, directly:<br>
<ul>
  <li>sh grass-6.0.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh grass60-DD-MM-YYYY-arc-bin.tar.gz <br> 
    or</li>
  <li>./grass-6.0.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh grass60-DD-MM-YYYY-arc-bin.tar.gz</li>
</ul>

<h3>Libraries</h3>
The following libraries are required:
<ul>
  <li>libpq (e.g. libpq3-7.3.4-2mdk.i586.rpm)</li>
  <li>proj (e.g. proj-4.4.7-1mdk.i586.rpm)</li>
  <li>libproj (e.g. libproj0-4.4.7-1mdk.i586.rpm) </li>
  <li>libgdal(e.g. libgdal0-1.1.9-2mdk.i586.rpm) </li>
</ul>
and, recommended, also:
<ul>
  <li>tcl (e.g. tcl-8.3.3-21mdk.i586.rpm)</li>
  <li>tk (e.g. tk-8.3.3-21mdk.i586.rpm)</li>
  <li>gdal tools (e.g. gdal-1.1.9-2mdk.i586.rpm)</li>
  <li>libfftw (must be fft2, e.g. libfftw2-2.1.5-2mdk.i586.rpm)</li>
  <li>libgrass (e.g. libgrass5-1.0.0-1mdk.src.rpm - but only if inserted in one of above packages as dependency)<br>
  </li>
</ul>
optional:<br>
<ul>
  <li>libgdal0-devel-1.1.9-2mdk.i586.rpm</li>
  <li>libgrass5_0-devel-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm</li>
  <li>libproj0-devel-4.4.7-1mdk.i586.rpm</li>
</ul>
You can find these RPMs at <a href="http://www.rpmfind.net/">www.rpmfind.net</a>
or <a href="http://rpm.pbone.net">rpm.pbone.net</a>

<h3>NOTE:</h3>
In some distributions (e.g. Mandrake) the names of libraries is
slightly different. Check, and if there is no file of the name: 
libtk.so.0 
libtcl.so.0 
libpq.so.2 
libgdal.1.1.so 
 
then you should type: 
 
su 
ln -s /usr/lib/libtk.so /usr/lib/libtk.so.0 
ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl.so /usr/lib/libtcl.so.0 
ln -s /usr/lib/libpq.so.3 /usr/lib/libpq.so.2 
ln -s /usr/lib/libgdal.1.1.so /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1 
ldconfig

Instead of (or in addition to) libtk.so and libtcl.so, you might
 have libtk8.4.so and libtcl8.4.so. In this case, type instead: 
 
ln -s /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so /usr/lib/libtk.so.0 
ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so /usr/lib/libtcl.so.0 
ldconfig
