[R-sig-Geo] installing spgrass6

[Paolo Cavallini]

Great, that helped a lot. But now I get

./configure: line 1111: gdal-config: command not found

I was unable to find the gdal-config script distributed with
GDAL. If you have not installed the GDAL libraries, you can
download the source from  http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/
If you have installed the GDAL libraries, then make sure that
gdal-config is in your path. Try typing gdal-config at a
shell prompt and see if it runs. If not, find it and add its
path to your shell path.

I checked, and I cannot locate gdal-config anywhere in my box (gdal installed 
from debian package).
I volunteer to improve the page at 
http://grass.itc.it/statsgrass/grass6_r_install.html
when I'll succeed.
All the best.
