Hi Frank. 

I successfully recompiled grass as follows:

./configure --with-postgres-includes=/usr/local/pgsql/include/ 
--with-gdal=/usr/local/share/gdal --with-postgres-libs=/usr/local/pgsql/lib


compilation worked but I continue to get the segmentation fault when i try 
r.in.gdal. part of the configure script output says:

----snip--------
checking if we should build directly against GDAL... no
----snip----- 

did i do something incorrectly ??? 

should I have specified /usr/local/share/gdal OR /usr/local/lib

(the respective files/directories follow)

GRASS:/usr/local/share > ls -al gdal
