[GRASS-user] Installing snapshot on a defined Folder

Greetings

from my Package manager (Synaptic in Ubuntu) I have installed GRASS-dev package in /usr/lib/grass64/. But, then I decided to install a Weekly snapshot to update a few issues. But the weekly snapshot was installed in /usr/local/grass-6.4.0svn.
My question is, how can I define my installation destination directory to avoid having 2 different installations?

Thank you
Kim

That's the default.

Please enjoy the help :slight_smile:

sh grass-6.4.0svn-i686-pc-linux-gnu-10_04_2010-install.sh --help
Usage: grass-6.4.0svn-i686-pc-linux-gnu-10_04_2010-install.sh
grass-6.4.0svn-i686-pc-linux-gnu-10_04_2010.tar.gz [dest_dir]
[bin_dir]
...

Good luck,
Markus

Markus I'm not I have understand you
I using following configuration:
./configure --with-wxwidgets --with-blas --with-lapack --with-nls --with-cxx

...

to compile and install in a different location than /usr/local/, use
--prefix= for configure.

For example,
./configure --prefix=/nfsmnt/GRASS-GRID/binaries ...

Hope this helps,
