Ideas, yes; solution, no :-(

deflateInit is a zlib function. GDAL itself doesn't appear to use at
(at least, 1.1.3 doesn't), but some of the formats which it supports
do (notably PNG).

This might be a MacOSX linker/loader issue; the MacOSX loader appears
to be more strict than typical Unix loaders.

OTOH, it might be that the updated GDAL library was built slightly
differently to the old version, such that r.in.gdal would need to be
re-compiled.
