[GRASS-user] v.in.e00 issues

[Nathan T Rogers]

I've  been using the v.in.e00 command successfully in the past, but now when used I get the following: 

GRASS 6.4.0RC5 (jn_hb):~ > v.in.e00 -v file=jun_hy.e00 type=area vect=streams
An error may appear next which will be ignored...
E00 Compressed ASCII found. Will uncompress first...
ERROR 4: jun_hy.e00 is not a valid E00 file.
...converted to Arc Coverage in current directory
Importing areas...
ERROR: Unable to open data source <jun_hy>
ERROR: An error occurred. Stop.

I know this file is valid because I actually imported it about 10 minutes before without problem. 
In the period of time where it went from working to not I did three things: 

used apt to install e00compr (v.out.ogr asked for it before it would run)
used v.out.ogr to export the imported e00 into a shapefile
used the shapefile to create a new location. 

Now when I try to use the v.in.e00 script I get the error above. I am assuming it has something to do with install e00compr, but I am at a loss. I used apt to remove e00compr, and installed from source with no luck.

Any ideas on this?
