is that the grass<version> script (e.g. grass61) must be in one of the

then $PATH must include /usr/local/bin.

All the variables look good on my machine. I've made a couple of other
observations that might narrow the problem down:

When I run r.in.gdal, the GUI crashes immediately after selecting a raster
(in this case, a tiff) to import from the file selection dialog box. No
other errors are given on the command line. Thinking this might be a libgdal
problem, I checked Synaptic and noticed that libgdal1-grass is available as
a downloadable package, and is not currently installed on my system.
Selecting that package for downloading gives:

"The following packages have unresolved dependencies .
Libgdal1-grass:
Depends: libgdal1(>= 1.2.6 but it is not installable."

That Synaptic problem may or may not be what is causing my rasters not to
display. Do I need to download libgdal1-grass? If so, from where?

And here's an ls -l on *gdal* in my /usr/lib directory:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      16 2005-12-19 09:58 libgdal1 ->
libgdal.so.1.7.0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 5333652 2005-07-21 06:27 libgdal.a
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    1040 2005-07-21 06:27 libgdal.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      16 2005-12-16 09:58 libgdal.so ->
libgdal.so.1.7.0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      16 2005-12-08 14:35 libgdal.so.1 ->
libgdal.so.1.7.0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 3471624 2005-07-21 06:27 libgdal.so.1.7.0

Any thoughts?
