I am trying to get 5.1 working. Should I use gdal 1.1.8 or CVS version
or does it matter?
Has anyone else seen the above problem?

2 other problems.

(1) Trying to start 5.1 with the sample data from 
mpa.itc.it/radim/g51/g51test-10.tar.gz, it won't let me 
pick "test" as location because it's "not available"
to me (as if I don't own it).

(2) after I try to create another mapset I get an error
trying to execute g.setenv (I think, from memory) because
it can't find cmd or interactive version.  Evidently I
am not linking correctly to grass5.0.2.  It did 
 make mix
 make
and I saw a list of links reportedly being made.  But I 
don't see any links in /bin.  Only new 5.1 module names.
