Stephen,
Let's see if I can help you. I always compile GRASS from source and in
my experience whenever there is a problem the most probable reason is
that a library is lacking. Seldom is GRASS itself the problem.
The instructions Vero linked work of course but these are general and
you need to change them to adapt to your system or preferred setup. So
that depends on you.
I do not see what exactly you are doing or in which OS you are. It seems
that you may need to ensure that python 3 is installed with its relevant
modules. How that is done depends on your exact system. Pay attention
that the GRASS GUI needs python wxWidgets bindings.
Assuming you are in Linux and that you have all the required libraries
(including dev packages) installed, this should work:
- open a terminal and log in as root user
- change dir to /usr/local/src
- get the package file
wget https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/archive/refs/tags/7.8.5.tar.gz
- untar and uncompress the package file
tar -xvf 7.8.5.tar.gz
- change dir to grass-7.8.5
cd grass-7.8.5 (or whatever is called)
- configure, this depends on what exactly you have and what you want to
do. The following is the line I use often. You need to edit this to suit
your system and needs:
|./configure --enable-shared --with-odbc --with-fftw --with-readline
--with-curses --with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj --enable-largefile
--with-motif --with-freetype
--with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 --with-sqlite
--enable-64bit --with-geos --with-python --with-netcdf --with-blas|
||
|-make (use the N = number of cores in your processor to parallelize and
make it complete in less time)
|
|make -j N|
|
|
|- install (this will put a script called grass78 in /usr/local/bin):|
|make install|
- as normal user, type in a terminal:
grass78
GRASS should then start.
Good luck

Thanks Veronica for that good information. I've made some progress by
ensuring I had the libs it needs ready (GDAL, etc.). Now it is giving
me a Python error :
File
"/home/me/grass/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/etc/python/grass/script/core.py",
line 305,
**options,
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I am not a Python user so this is throwing me. I assume I need to
install a Python (Python3?) module, via "pip install ..." I suppose.
Can someone tell me which module can fix this?
For reference, the whole Python block of code containing the offending
line, from core.py is:
def make_command(
prog,
flags="",
overwrite=False,
quiet=False,
verbose=False,
superquiet=False,
errors=None,
**options,
);
Thanks for any ideas.
Best,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I'm no expert in compiling at all, but I always run configure in
the source code directory. Have you tried?
Once configure runs without errors, just run make, if no errors at
the end, you are good to go
Here's a wiki with instructions for diverse linux platforms:

Hi,
I am trying to build the version of GRASS listed in the
subject line. However, when I run configure, it does not
produce a "Makefile" even though configure appears to complete
without error. The closest thing I see to a Makefile is this
file: include/Make/Platform.make. I am not running configure
in the source code directory as one is always told this is a
bad idea (for ex., when building gcc). I am running configure
in a separate directory ("/build-grass"). Let me know what I
should try next as I am excited to get GRASS running!
Best regards,
Steve
