Whatever is calling G_gisinit().

It means that something was compiled using <grass/gis.h> from one
version of GRASS, but when run it uses libgrass_gis from a different
version.

It may be a problem with R. It can also be caused by a GDAL library
(or GDAL-GRASS plugin) which was built with GRASS support. You might
want to try using gdalinfo on a GRASS dataset to confirm or deny this
possibility.
