Hi, As a follow-up on this issue, and as a person who never installed GRASS on Linux, I wanted to ask the Forum if there is a version of GRASS 6.x that will run on 32-bit system, which has a similar look to the most recent Unix interface. I installed 6.4.2 from the US Tier#2 web site of GRASS (the link gave the date of 2009) but I am sure that the interface looked archaic. It is important that the version is free of bugs since it will be used for a workshop designed for beginners. I will appreciate your suggestions. * I also installed GRASS 7 but there are issues with vector import and basic analyses.

Thank you for your input. Yes, I misspoke: I should have said that I was looking for relatively bug-free version of GRASS for Linux. I must also mention that the version of Linux installed on computers is beyond my control since it is a lab maintained by others.

I had Windows version (6.4) installed from this address for my class last semester and there were a lot of problems with mapcalc, gregion, and v.in.ogr. I will try finding the link for GRASS 7, which had problems so that it can be fixed. As for Linux GRASS 6.4 issue: I only typed GRASS in Terminal and GUI came up however, I will try what you suggested (grass64 -gui). Meanwhile, can anyone suggest a link for GRASS 6.4 for the version of Ubuntu I have to work with?
