[GRASS-user] Add a module to already installed Grass 6.2.1

GRASS GRASS user

Hello,

I very recently installed Grass 6.2.1 on my Ubuntu Dapper machine.
I would like to use the module r.resamp.stats which is not available in this version of Grass.

Is it possible to add this (or another) module after installation?
How is it possible to do that?

Thank you very much,

Hi Patrick,

Did you install via source or binary? If you installed via binary, then you
will need to get a more current binary distribution of GRASS.

If you compiled from source, you can always get the lates CVS copy and
re-compile. as for inserting newer code into an exisiting source branch...
not sure if this will work- the other devs might have a better solution. In
general i have found that using the CVS branch is the best way to stay up to
date.

Cheers,

Dylan

If 6.2.1 was built from source already:
get the module's source dir from CVS, move it into the 6.2.1's raster/
dir, run "make" in that dir and cross your fingers.

(aside)
This task would make a very nice wiki-tutorial on how to prepare a GEM
package for an otherwise binary install.
