You do need the full source code to compile GRASS modules.

Actually, with the GRASS Extension Manager you can compile plugins, but
that's only in the CVS version ;)


You do not have to uninstall your existing GRASS to compile or run a
newer version. 

e.g. on Debian/stable:

cd /usr/local/src/
tar xzf grass61-cvs-snapshot.tgz
cd grass61-cvs-snapshot

CFLAGS="-ggdb -march=pentium4 -Wall" ./configure \
    --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4 \
    --with-motif --with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
    --with-readline --with-cxx --with-glw --with-odbc --with-sqlite \
    --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
    --without-postgres \
    --with-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-includes=/usr/include/ffmpeg \
    2>&1 | tee config_log.txt

make


but no "make install". 

run ./bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu/grass61 to start grass. I usually make a
grass61 symlink to this in my ~/bin/ dir.


you will need -dev packages installed,
