Very frustrating. I've tarred and gzipped a test Location and placed
it on my ftp site ftp://gsca.nrcan.gc.ca/outgoing/Patton for anyone
who wants to try it out on their Linux distro and see if they can
reproduce my errors.
It works fine for me (Gentoo Linux/x86, GRASS 6.1 CVS).

Thanks everyone who downloaded my data and tested it out on their systems. I
downloaded the stable Grass 6.0.1 through synaptic and was able to load my
own data perfectly. So the problem must certainly be either the Generic
Linux 6.1cvs binary (unlikely) or my particular setup (very likely). I have
a feeling that my $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH are not pointing to the right
places. Here's what I've got:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/ga
mes
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
<nothing>
What should these variables be set to? And are there any other relevant
variables like these that need to be set prior to a cvs binary install?
Thanks again,
~ Eric.

Within a GRASS session, the $GISBASE/bin and $GISBASE/scripts
directories should be present in $PATH, and $GISBASE/lib should be
present in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The startup script does this.
And are there any other relevant variables like these that need to
be set prior to a cvs binary install?
You shouldn't need to set anything outside of GRASS. The only
requirement is that the grass<version> script (e.g. grass61) must be
in one of the directories in $PATH, e.g. if it's installed as
/usr/local/bin/grass61, then $PATH must include /usr/local/bin.
