[GRASS-user] Error creating new mapset

[Jose A. Ruiz-Arias]

Dear folk,

i have installed GRASS-6.2.3 from source code with no apparent errors during 
configuration, compilation and installation. However, when i run grass and 
try to create a new mapset i get next error:

g.region: error while loading shared libraries: libgdal.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: Error 40

In fact, when i was setting the projection parameters and chose a UTM 
projection, the program did not ask me for the UTM zone, the ellipsoid and 
the datum.

In the GRASS configure process I explicitely used the 
flag --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config and there were no errors. I 
checked for the shared library and it is placed in /usr/local/lib directory.

Before the GRASS installation, I installed the GDAL/OGR bundle from the source 
code, with netcdf support, and the GRASS support disabled. Again, there were 
no apparent errors. Next I installed the gdal-grass plugin (gdal-grass-1.4.3 
with the following options: 
configure --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.2.3)

I did not detect any problem during the installation of these bundles. Anyone 
knows about the problem??

Thanks in advance,

José A. Ruiz
