[GRASSLIST:1041] gdal problem

[Keith J. Forbes]

Hi. I am trying to import what I am pretty sure is an Arcinfo binary grid 
formatted file. The file was created from a grid of points in Arcview using 
the inverse distance weighting method. Specifically the command from Arcview 
was Theme|Convert to Grid. The file name is w001001x.adf.

I installed Grass from sources but recall having difficulties installing gdal. 
I don't recall if I ever installed it or not. The only folder I have with 
gdal is the following:

(/usr/local/share/gdal)

[keith at siam1 gdal]$ ls -al

When I run r.in.gdal (accepting all defaults), I always get "Segmentation 
fault" as an error.

QUESTIONS:
Do I need to reinstall gdal? If not, why are my attempts at importing arcinfo 
binary grids (w001001x.adf) not working. Would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,
Keith
