can you start up in text mode ('grass64 -text', then esc-enter)
and run 'g.region -p' from the command line?

(typically this error means a mis-match in the GDAL install
version, but you have to run g.region from the command line
to see the real error message & find out. [devs: why can't the
GUI propgate the g.region error message for us?])
