Hi List!

I've a problem running grass 6.5 svn on Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit (just installed).

When entering a location, gis.m crashes and in terminal it writes:

GRASS 6.5.svn (brenta):~ > Error in startup script: can't read "prj(proj)":
no such variable
   while executing
"if { $prj(proj) == "ll"} {set proj_is_ll 1}"

Any idea?

You probably have a problem with your installation of gdal. In the terminal, try g.region -gp. This probably won't work, indicating a gdal (or possible PROJ) problem.
