Hi, in fact it's pretty easy to have multiple grass install on your computer: you just need to follow the instructions on http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Ubuntu, and use the --prefix=/opt/grass64 (or whatever you want)
on my gentoo box, i have a regular grass-6.4.1, and a compiled 6.4-svn, grass-6.5, and grass-7 without any trouble! cheers, Sylvain 2011/10/13 Shane Litherland <[email protected]> > Hi all, > > So, I know one can have a 'working' GRASS and a 'try-if-you-dare' GRASS > on the one computer... a quick web search on how to do multiple grass > installs gave me more info on laying turf than on computing though! > > The GRASS wiki has good info on compiling from source, but didn't see > anything clear about how to set up a testing GRASS without it > interfering with my existing, functional one. > > Any tips on where/what to read to get this right? am on ubuntu 10.04, > working with GRASS 6.4.1, want to try the 6.4.2RC to check if a few > glitches I am aware of have been sorted out. > > I probably read info about this months/years ago but need to update > myself before I blunder on into compiling from source-code! > > Regards, > Shane. > > _______________________________________________ > grass-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user >
