Dear all, <br><br>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: <br>
<br>> x<-readRAST6("GLC2000_Landcover_SEAsia")<br>ERROR: Incompatible library version for module. You need to rebuild GRASS<br> or untangle multiple installations.<br><br>But it worked fine with plugin=FALSE. <br>

</div>in the DebianGIS package the lib dir was renamed in 6.4.0~rc3-3 back in<br>
late March. AFAIK UbuntuGIS often just rebuilds the Debian package for<br>
their world.<br>

<br>
are you using a newer version of grass than rc3?<br>
<br>
<br>
it looks like Karmic's package has the versioned dirs:<br>

<br>
(rc5-1 is buggy and should not ship without the patch from Debian's rc5-2!!<br>
but that is another matter..<br>
