[GRASSLIST:5986] moving layers from one machine to another

[Chris Fonnesbeck]

Having painstakingly imported a large shapefile into Linux (see
previous thread on v.in.ogr), I want to use this layer on my OS X
machine. However, simply moving my ~/grass directory to the other
machine seems not to work, as attempting lo load the layer results in
a bus error on the Mac (works fine on the Linux machine). What is the
best way to move layers among GRASS workstations?

Thanks,
Chris
