Yes. But we have worked on this to make it better and released GRASS 6.4.2 recently: http://grass.osgeo.org/announces/announce_grass642.html "... This release includes over 770 updates to the source code since 6.4.1."

Sooner of later Ubuntu will update as well. Best Markus _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
