This is probably the reason why the normal location creation process
isn't working either.

The interactive startup involves invoking various helper programs,
e.g. g.setproj to set ellipsoid, datum, etc. If the proj library
cannot be found, g.setproj won't work (nor will several other
important programs, e.g. g.region).

If the proj library isn't installed on the cluster, GRASS isn't going
to work. If it's installed, but it's the wrong version, you may need
to re-compile GRASS (or it may suffice to create a symlink with the
correct name). If the problem is just that GRASS can't find it,
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH may help.
