Hi all.
Apparently this is a very serious problem also in Korea, and I imagine
also in many other countries. People solve this by either downgrading to
1.7.4, or using a nextgis package.
I remember a lengthy discussion on this, but I cannot recall the conclusion.
Is there something I can do to help fixing it? I would like to at least
show a way for the solution at the FOSS4G Korea, in the next days.
Thanks a lot.
