If you install GRASS with "sudo apt-get install grass" this does everything for you and you don't need to compile anything.
Although you could get also the source with apt-get (don't know exactly how right now and where it will be placed), you can decide to create a source directory for all of your "geo-source codes" (e.g. /home/nik/source or /usr/local/src --- it doesn't matter I think where it is but you have to give full read-write-execute access to your login) and "draw" the source codes with svn as it is described in [1]: svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons grass-addons Another "svn" example is: svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk grass_trunk This will get the trunk(=grass7) source code and put it in a directory called "grass_trunk" (look at last argument of the above command) within the directory from where you execute the command. So if you are currently in /home/eduardo the "grass_trunk" directory will be created in /home/eduardo.
