Hi,

FWIW, it's a known feature that GRASS's i.pca and R's version
give transposed output. It's just cosmetic and the row and column
headers tell you what's what. GRASS lists the principal
components row-wise, R presents them column-wise.

See discussion and GRASS vs. R testing/validation w/Nikos from
c. March 2009. (& trac ticket #430)
