[GRASSLIST:5603] Re: [Qgis-user] problem loading grass data in qgis

[Radim Blazek]

Most probably all the problems are caused by libgrass. libgrass and 
GRASS6 have different functions with the same names.
You have probably compiled gdal with libgrass and when the plugin in 
QGIS try to call a function from GRASS6 it actually ends up with old 
function from libgrass. You have to compile GDAL with GRASS6, i.e. use 
--with-grass instead of --with-libgrass.

This should solve

and
 > ERROR 1: libgrass: Cannot find vector archsites at PERMANENT

it will solve also
 > "Cannot read current region: Is invalid line 1|: <-top:    |->

but you should know that region file in GRASS6 was extended to 3D
so you cannot read region files created in GRASS6 in GRASS5 or libgrass.
