Ah. The imagery library isn't called libgrass_I any more; it's now
called libgrass_imagery.

It was changed at the same time that I moved the clustering code to a
separate library. However, I didn't realise that it had been
back-ported to 6.4.

You can probably get around the problem by adding a symlink, e.g.:

	ln -s libgrass_imagery.so /usr/local/grass-6.4.svn/lib/libgrass_I.so
