Great thanks Madi - I'd used that approach for the two earlier errors when
running this command but couldn't find a package relating to curses in my
search for unintalled packages (probably due to the curses but being surrounded
by other letters!)
Incedentally non-of the add-ons are working through the gui - I know this is a
freqently reported problem to which the only guaranteed solution (after
scouring the mailing list and trying solutions posted here
http://planetflux.adamwilson.us/2012/02/installing-grass-extensions-on-ubuntu.html
and http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/43974) appears to be
to compile from source.
...I wanted large file support anyway so I was just being lazy to only use the
Ubuntu:GIS repository version :)
cheers!
Rebecca
