The reason will be that the start script isn't yet in $PATH. So, the question is: did you run this step sudo make install ? - if yes, then it should be in /usr/local/bin/ which needs to be in $PATH (usually it is) - if no, then you need to create a link: ln -s /where/you/compiled/grass_src/bin.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/grass78 /some/directory/in/path/ Example (here in detail, also for others being interested): So, in my $HOME I always create a "$HOME/bin/" directory into which I then link the GRASS GIS startup script (and also other unrelated stuff). Hence: mkdir $HOME/bin/ Then add this line into $HOME/.bashrc (assuming that you use bash shell): export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin Next create the link (adapt path as needed): ln -s $HOME/where/you/compiled/grass_src/bin.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/grass78 $HOME/bin/ Now either start a new terminal or execute one time (needed as the current terminal only reads $HOME/.bashrc at startup): export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin Now you should be able to start grass78 > I have over 30 years experience with Unix or Linux and I still don't see a > startup file. What am I missing? It is all about having the start scipt in $PATH.
