[GRASS-user] Versions question

   Looking at the web site's source download page I see that the svn trunk
was changed last month to 7.7svn. Removing the ~/gis/grass/grass7_trunk/
directory and running "svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk
grass7_trunk" then building from scratch and installing the latest release
(73393?) I expected to see the new 7.7 version when I started grass.
However, I still see:

$ grass --version
GRASS GIS 7.5.svn

   And starting grass shows:

Welcome to GRASS GIS 7.5.svn (exported)
and
GRASS 7.5.svn :~/data/grassdata >

   When I run 'find / -name grass-7.5' nothing is found.

   What changes these version displays with the new build?

Rich,

In my system the executables for the different grass versions look like this:

grass74

grass75

grass77

There was no confusion when updating the svn trunk (grass7_trunk).

I guess that the problem will disappear if you delete the installed executable, the installed grass folder, and then make a new fresh install.

/H.

Hernán,

   A while ago I copied /usr/local/bin/grass75 to /usr/local/bin/grass and
used only 'grass' on the command line, so it was the executable for 7.5.svn
that ran.

   Cleaned this up now (no more 'grass') and this morning's build, 'grass77'
now loads properly at the command line.

   I should have seen this earlier. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

Best regards,

Rich

Maybe better to softlink, instead of copying.
