[GRASSLIST:1000] Re: importing tif file - Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Don Harter]

I got the r.in.gdal to work in importing SDTS USGS 7.5" DEM data file.  It appears
to have been just a configuration issue.  I used the input file to create a
region, then I exited grass, restarted it (that is one trick that I found in one of the tutorials) and ran r.support.  Previously
r.in.gdal segmetation faulted when my PROJ_INFO and PROJ_UNITS were not set
which is caused by incomplete location information.  

I am not sure what was causing the memory leaks.  I think it was perhaps because I was debugging grass in a local directory
 and there was already another version that had been installed system wide.
