<h1>How to install the Linux binary releases  of GRASS 6.3.x in gzipped tar format.</h1>

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

<b>Note: the x86_64 binaries will only run on 64bit CPUs (use 'uname -m' to
find out about your computer).</b>
<p>

You can install and use GRASS 6.3.x in parallel to GRASS 5.x.
<h3>Installation:</h3>
<ol>
  <li>get the file <br>
grass-6.3.0-x.distro_version.hw-bin.tar.gz</li>
  <li>get the installation script <br>
grass-6.3.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh</li>
</ol>

 from <a href=./>this directory</a>

<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. i586)</li>
</ul>
<br>
For installation, run the install script with --help option:<br>
<ul>
  <li>sh grass-6.3.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh --help </li>
or <li>./grass-6.3.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh --help </li>
</ul>
<br>
Or without help, directly:<br>
<ul>
  <li>sh grass-6.3.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh grass63-DD-MM-YYYY-arc-bin.tar.gz <br> 
    or</li>
  <li>./grass-6.3.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh grass63-DD-MM-YYYY-arc-bin.tar.gz</li>
</ul>

<h3>Libraries</h3>
The following libraries are required:
<ul>
  <li>libpq (e.g. libpq3 or libpq4)</li>
  <li>proj (e.g. proj)</li>
  <li>libproj (e.g. libproj) </li>
  <li>libgdal(e.g. libgdal) </li>
</ul>
and, recommended, also:
<ul>
  <li>tcl (e.g. tcl)</li>
  <li>tk (e.g. tk)</li>
  <li>gdal tools (e.g. gdal)</li>
  <li>libfftw (fftw2 or fftw3)</li>
</ul>
optional:<br>
<ul>
  <li>libgdal0-devel</li>
  <li>libproj0-devel</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> or get from your distro
provider.

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

<p>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:<br>
<br>
ln -s /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so /usr/lib/libtk.so.0<br>
ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so /usr/lib/libtcl.so.0<br>
ldconfig<br>
