OK, moved to lib/init/.

Removed in CVS.

Thanks.
d.m is now updated in CVS. 
Debian users: please try again (don't forget to revert the /etc/ld.so.conf change
for testing, run ldconfig as well).

I had to modify lib/init/grass-run.sh to make it working for Fedora:

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"$GISBASE/lib"
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-added

Hopefully this problem is resolved now.
