[R-sig-Geo] spgrass causes segfault

[Dominik.Cullmann at Forst.bwl.de]

Dear all,
when I call readRAST6 or readVECT6, it causes a segfault and gives
Traceback Info I
don't understand:
=======
> tmp<-readRAST6("geology")

 *** caught segfault ***
address (nil), cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
 1: .Call("RGDAL_OpenDataset", as.character(filename), TRUE, PACKAGE =
"rgdal")
 2: .local(.Object, ...)
 3: initialize(value, ...)
 4: initialize(value, ...)
 5: new("GDALReadOnlyDataset", filename)
 6: GDAL.open(fname)
 7: GDALinfo(fname)
 8: readRAST6("geology")

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
=======
Can anybody 'round here give me a hint on how I might get this working?

I'm using R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26) from backports on Debian stable:

oh, and I'm using grass version 6.4.0RC5 which I compiled after
configuring via
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure   --with-opengl=no
--with-tcltk-libs=/usr.lib --with-tcltk-includes='/usr/include/tcl8.4/
/usr/include/tk/' --with-tcltk-libs='/usr/lib/tcl8.4/' --with-odbc=yes
