I now have GRASS4.1 binaries available via anonymous ftp. Here's the
system they were compiled on:
Linux 0.99pl10
lib 4.4.1
gcc 2.4.3
Xfree1.3
They are available from topquark.cecer.army.mil (129.229.1.77) (my linux
machine). I'm am working on a statically linked version as I am mailing
this out ... the statically linked version should be at the ftp site on
Monday. Here's the README.linux file for the binaries, let me know if you
have any questions/problems/comments.

-------------------
How to install these files:
When you unpack these files (linuxa*), they will unpack into a driectory
called linux. This directory will then become your $GISBASE. You will
need 22MB to hold these binaries.
Step 1:
Decide on which directory you want to unpack the binaries in. In the
directions below, this directory will be the <Install Dir>.
Step 2:
issue the following command:
cat linuxa? | zcat | (cd <Insatll Dir>; tar xvf -)
Step 3:
edit the file <Install Dir>/edit_me/grass4.1. Change the GISBASE=
line to be GISBASE=<Install Dir>/linux
Step 4:
move the file <Install Dir>/edit_me/grass4.1 to a directory where
your users will have access to it. I put mine in /usr/local/bin.
And away you go. I'd like some feedback if you use these binaries. Let me
know if you have any problems running GRASS4.1, if you have any problems
setting it up, if you actually get it running, etc. My e-mail address is:
