[GRASS-user] 6.4 installation on ubuntu

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hi,
today I succesfully compiled GRASS 6.4 with PostgreSQL support. After
that I created a deb-file using checkinstall.
Now, after installing the deb file I cannot run grass anymore. This is
the message I receive:

The program 'grass' is currently not installed. You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt-get install grass
bash: grass: command not found

but apt tells me that I have the current version of grass installed...
Maybe I should just try make install? But I would like to be able to
uninstall 6.4 via apt...

I guess it is called
grass64

Does this help?

Perfect!

That's no good - it should be done during installation. Apparently
there is something missing in the Debian control file.
