[GRASSLIST:9404] Re: Reading and converting VMAP0

[William Kyngesburye]

Unless OGDI is hacked to behave like the examples (my GIS Libs  
package is, but Lorenzo uses his own build), that 'vrf' part must be  
spelled out so it can find the library.  Normally the OGDI format  
code looks for the standard unix .so extension for libraries.  Try  
using libvrf.dylib instead of vrf.  If that doesn't work, it needs a  
location to find the library: set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in your shell to  
wherever Lorenzo has his libraries (I think it's /usr/local/grasslib/ 
lib).  For the tcsh shell:

setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/grasslib/lib
