[GRASS-user] Installing GRASS 6.4.2 on Ubuntu

I'm trying to install GRASS 6.4.2 on Ubuntu. However when I launch GRASS it
says it is version 6.4.1. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Using this URL...
http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php
http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php
I clicked on the 'Ubuntu' link in the 'Stable 6.4.2' section.
However the page it takes me to says it is an unstable version so I dont
know if this is a faulty link...
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable
In the package list it includes "6.4.1-2~oneiric1"
I'm not sure what this means. Does it mean version 6.4.1 to 6.4.2 are
included and if so is there a way to select which one to install?

I gave the above ago and following the instructions...
I uninstalled a previous version of GRASS and then I typed this into the the
console:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grass
grass

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit. I need a 64-bit version of GRASS for memory
reasons.
Thanks.

You are right, the only reason is that grass 6.4.2 still are not available
in Ubuntu repositories…

In this moment if you want grass 6.4.2 version in Ubuntu, you should download the
source code from here:

http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php

Download this file:

grass-6.4.2.tar.gz

and compile the source code. The instruction to do it, is here:

In this moment if you want grass 6.4.2 version in Ubuntu, you should

Alternatively, use the automatic builds from the latest source code in GRASS archives:

https://code.launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/grass-stable

[of course at your own risk. but the debian configuration originates from Ubuntu packages.]
