GRASS 6.5.x binary releases for GNU/Linux

How to install the Linux binary releases of GRASS 6.5.x in gzipped tar format.

Use at your own risk.

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

You can install and use GRASS 6.5.x in parallel to GRASS 7.x.

Installation:

get the file
grass-6.5.0-x.distro_version.hw-bin.tar.gz
get the installation script
grass-6.5.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh

from this directory

where

x: binary_version
distro_version: Linux distribution with version
hw: is the hardware architecture of your platform (e.g. i586)

For installation, run the install script with --help option:

sh grass-6.5.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh --help
./grass-6.5.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh --help

Or without help, directly:

sh grass-6.5.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh grass65-DD-MM-YYYY-arch-bin.tar.gz
or
./grass-6.5.0-x.distro_version.hw-install.sh grass65-DD-MM-YYYY-arch-bin.tar.gz

Libraries

The following libraries are required:

libpq (e.g. libpq3 or libpq4)
proj (e.g. proj)
libproj (e.g. libproj)
libgdal(e.g. libgdal)

and, recommended, also:

tcl (e.g. tcl)
tk (e.g. tk)
gdal tools (e.g. gdal)
libfftw (fftw2 or fftw3)

optional:

libgdal0-devel
libproj0-devel

You can find these RPMs at www.rpmfind.net or rpm.pbone.net or get from your distro provider.

NOTE:

In some distributions (e.g. Mandriva) 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.1.6.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.1.6.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
