Hello all Thanks for your good advice. I decided to go with the option of EXPORTing the grass addon path and put my scripts there, which works ok, well... kind of.
It happens that when I launch GRASS from the terminal, the GRASS_ADDON_PATH gets correctly added to the PATH and I can load my test script. However, if I start GRASS from the gnome menu (or gnome-do) the GRASS_ADDON_PATH gets ignored. Maybe theres some config file that I have to tweak?
