hi-

i am unable to import a USGS DEM (original file format - not SDTS) into
grass 5.0.3 using either r.in.ascii or r.in.gdal ..... both attempts result
in a segmentation fault.

thanks in advance

The segfault error on USGS DEM is now well documented.
You need to:
1. Compile gdal with the "--without-grass" option
2. Download and compile Grass 5.3 with the "--with-gdal" option
And it should work.
Note that GRASS5.3 must be called with the "grass53" command

Compiling GRASS 5.3 did the trick!

thanks to all that made suggestions

Dylan
