[GRASSLIST:4752] Re: v.in.ogr gives dbmi: db_open_database() not implemented

[William K]

I'm on Mac OS X here and have no problems with shared libs.  Tho I have 
10.3.6.  But I don't think that should make that big a difference as 
long as you have the GCC 3.3 Dev tools for 10.2.8.

I briefly had that error with dbmi when the developers were messing 
around with the linker options a while back, and it has changed again 
recently.  For this error, it's a combination of link options that can 
cause the dbmi functions to not build right.  It's not a GDAL problem.

Take a look at my GRASS build instructions for Mac OS X:
