The configured GRASS prefix is already compiled into the OGR GRASS
driver as GRASS_GISBASE, why not do the same for the GDAL GRASS
driver? (I thought it was, but GRASS_GISBASE only turns up in
ogrgrassdatasource.cpp).

William,
thanks for your testing and reporting!
I reproduced the issue myself and finally figured out the
solution... that I
had myself forgotten after adding this test a few months ago.
You have to define the GISBASE environment variable so that it
points to the
root of your GRASS install. For example, in my case :
GISBASE=/usr/local/grass-6.4.svn
The related code in grass57dataset.cpp is :
if ( !getenv( "GISBASE" ) ) {
// we are outside a GRASS session
// TODO: use function instead of hardcoded path
sprintf(fake_gisbase, "GISBASE=/usr/local/share/gdal/grass/" );
putenv( fake_gisbase );
hasGisbase = false;
} else {
hasGisbase = true;
}
The TODO comment would suggest that there's some way to get that
path...
Anyway, I've added the above advice in case of the test fails in
trunk in
r15894 and in branches/1.6 in r15896
