Hi,
till recently I used to work on a Hardy-Ubuntu GNU/linux. I was able to
run various grass versions installed on the system. Now on Debian I
cannot install let's say 640_rc2 if 6.5.svn is already installed. The
error returned by the system deals with the replacement of
file /usr/local/bin/gem6, which belongs to the other grass version and
cannot be overwritten.
Has anyone experienced that ? (am I explicit enough ?)
BTW, I use checkinstall instead of make install.
Bye,
Vincent

Mhh, perhaps we have to rename
gem6 -> gem6x with x=0..n?

Perhaps,
but it could be interesting to check whether the error is reproductible,
or it is due to a configuration "mess" on my system...
Thank you,

Yes: because in all GRASS 6 versions it is called gem6 (unfortunately).
So it must conflict...
If the others agree I'll start to add the second version number starting
with GRASS 6.5. Then behaviour doesn't change for 6.4.
Markus
In my case, what if I voluntarily remove gem6 before installing a second
version of Grass ? will the previous grass install be damaged ?

Unless you don't use GEM then you are fine to remove/rename it.

Done in 6.5.svn and 7.svn.

Thank you, I'll try it
