Michaela,

your gstat installation seems to be configured well. So you have to
check two things:

 - the sites data file:
   When using GRASS sites lists as input maps, following column
   order conventions have to be followed:
       Easting|Northing|#site_no %FP_data [%FP_data]
  
   To check it, run: 
   s.info your_sites_file

   -> does it report 2 dimentions, 1 category, 1 or more DOUBLE 
      attributes? It should (or the sites file is not right)

   The error message indicates, that the 4th column of your
   sites file is not right or contains errors.

 - the gstat control file:
   Should contain something like this
     data(zinc): 'Zn', x=1, y=2, v=1;

   v1 points to the first DOUBLE attributes column in the sites file.

Please report some details.
