[GRASS-user] list of projection and datum

Recently, I install grass on Knoppix 5, and I found that when I want create a new location, I do not have the list of projections and datums. However, the program allow the normal entries that I use (tmerc, custom, international).

Apparently, the sofware did not find the files:
.tmp/Knoppix/6631.0
.tmp/Knoppix/6631.1

How can I solve this problem.?

Sincerely yours

LCL

No idea, probably a problem with the packaging in the Knoppix CD.

But the list is as follows.
