There was a problem with the GDAL 1.6.1 framework on OSX Tiger where I  
bundled the Leopard libpq by accident.  It should be fixed in GDAL  
1.6.1-3.

When GDAL has a problem, it doesn't show up when you start GRASS, only  
when you try to run a module.


PS. the mailing lists are a better place to ask questions - others may  
have a similar problem and are either too timid to ask, or don't know  
what to ask, or it may not be a direct problem with my binary  
packages.  And any answers will then be available to others in the  
archives.  (I'm cc-ing the user list)
