[GRASS-dev] "Incompatible library version" errors

[Maris Nartiss]

Glynn, You are correct about this error message, still IMHO it's good
to provide most likely failure case and a hint what to do next/how to
fix it. I numerous times have stumbled on "cannot write" errors and
friendly hint to run df lots of times has saved a day ;)

Maris.
