Thanks for all of the great pointers. Updating Python3 to version 3.9.2 made it possible for me to build GRASS finally. A couple of small issues now have me slightly puzzled: 1) when I ran "grass79", the GUI popped up just fine the first time. However, the GUI did not entirely fit the screen (I

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
