Dear all,

Thank you very much for the help.  In the end, my problem was more
basic than Augustin's suggestion.  Starting R from within GRASS was
basically all I needed to do.  Also, Roger, thank you for the
'pre-emptive' help with your comment about setting 'plugin=FALSE':
sure enough, when I tried without that command, I got the following
and R exited:

x<-readRAST6("GLC2000_Landcover_SEAsia")
ERROR: Incompatible library version for module. You need to rebuild GRASS
       or untangle multiple installations.

But it worked fine with plugin=FALSE.

AFAIK this indicates in this case that the GRASS-GDAL plugin is out of sync
with GRASS. Rebuilding the plugin should help.

Background:
- first compile GDAL without GRASS support
- then compile GRASS (needs GDAL)
- then compile the GRASS-GDAL plugin (needs GDAL and GRASS)
- use R

Markus,

The plugin is great for those who build from source, but here Tim is using the Kyngchaos OSX binaries, and seems to have a working system. It may be that some plugin directory is hanging around from a failed install, but for relatively many otherwise able users, this is too hard to fix. We've seen numerous Debian/Ubuntu users with similar version mismatches, and they aren't easy to settle - I get tripped up by the plugin myself when updating GDAL or GRASS. So for people who find that it helps, not using the plugin provides a solution avoiding building from source.

Best wishes,

Roger


Hope this helps,
Markus
