This is in connection with my solution to building GDAL to use GRASS libs instead of the old libgrass, and then getting GRASS to build with the resulting multiple defs errors.
review: the hard way: install GDAL without GRASS, build and install GRASS, reinstall GDAL _with_ GRASS libs.
the easier way: use two-level namespace for SHLIB_LD.
But now I discovered a problem - DBMI doesn't like the two-level namespace. Whenever GRASS tries to open a database (I tried DBF and MySQL), the command that tried fails with an error
dbmi: db_open_database() not implemented
I tried it with v.in.ogr, where it is supposed to create an attribute DB, and d.what.vect on an existing vector that previously worked.
The terminal output when building GRASS with two-level namespace shows lots of multiple defs warnings between the various DB driver object files and dbstubs, I guess that's where the problem is. Building with flat namespace gives no multiple defs errors (and dbmi works).
So, it looks like I'm stuck with the Hard Way to do the GDAL/GRASS combo. Rats! Unless someone has any ideas (it's getting a little deep for me).
