Greetings:
When using R within GRASS6, and loading the rgdal library, I encounter an error
loading a specific version of the HDF5 library that does not occur when I perform
the same operation in R 'outside' of GRASS6:
Here is a record of the error on my ubuntu system:

Would anyone have any suggestions?
I tried to find the 'missing' hdf5 library: libhdf5-1.6.4.so.0: in the archives, to no avail.
