[GRASSLIST:10835] Re: Bus Error in g.remove

[William Kyngesburye]

This is probably the same bug Michael Barton reported yesterday  
(#4152) and I reported last August (#3585).  Specifically, when GRASS  
is built on OS 10.3 Panther (GCC 3.3), and GDAL has Postgres  
support.  It's probably happening for you in Tiger because Lorenzo  
builds with Panther compatibility - either on Panther, or on Tiger  
using the Panther SDK.  A Tiger-only build (GCC 4) is unaffected.

It's a strange bug - I can build GRASS with GDAL without Postgres  
support, then update GDAL to include Postgres support and it still  
works.  It's only when GDAL has Postgres support *at the time GRASS  
is built*.  I've tried various combinations of static and dynamic  
Postgres libraries (and the exact same ones used for Postgres support  
in GRASS) and other options in GDAL and GRASS and GRASS with/without  
its own Postgres support.

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do  
if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer,  
I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the  
answer...
