It's been about 6 years since I last used GRASS (4.3), but it makes no
sense that I cannot get started on a project now. I'm using the svn download
from several days ago.
1.) Created the database /usr4/grassdata
2.) Within /usr4/ started grass: grass64
3.) Tclgrass display comes up and asks again for the database; I enter
that.
4.) Click on 'Create new location using projection data'.
5.) The antiquated text entry window displays. I again enter the database,
the new location name (ORdem10), and the mapset (rbs).
6.) I'm shown the list of coordinate systems and select D; enter the name
'Oregon Conformal Conic' (which cannot be edited if I mistype a
letter), and answer 'y' because it's correct.
7.) Please enter a one line description for location <ORdem10>
You may find it easier to use the "EPSG codes" button, and pick the
code to match your projection/coordinate system.
There is the epsg and esri projection files. In Karmic Koaloa
Kubuntu, they reside in /usr/share/proj/

After initially building and installing the stable 6.4.0RC5, I was advised
to grab the svn trunk instead. I did so on Nov 10th. That's the code I built
and installed. Perhaps I need to uninstall and redo the process.
Thanks,
Rich

As far as I understand it that just means you are using the latest version of the version tagged release_20090609_grass_6_4_0RC5 - for the latest 6.4 SVN you want the 6.4 branch rather than any specific tagged version: https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4
should be the one I think.

Paul,
Hokay ... did the svn -co to a new directory and at the end I'm told that
I've checked out revision 39721. That's the same revision as before. So I
was using the latest code when I ran into that brick wall.

Sorry don't think I was clear enough - any branch, tag or version that you update from SVN at this moment in time will show revision 39721, as that is simply the latest change to have been made anywhere in the entire SVN tree.

Paul,
Ah! Now I'm on the same page as you are. I'll build and install and see if
that makes a difference.

Paul,
The latest code fixed the problem. Using the wxPython UI I was able to
specify the data base and name the location and map set. Entering the
projection information went well, except there is no widget to enter units.
That bit me running r.in.gdal from within the GUI. That's another thread.
