[R-sig-Geo] spgrass6 does not load any long

[Martin Renner]

Thank you for the answer, Roger! Sys.getenv("GISRC") let to a tmp file, but that was a copy of the .grassrc6 in my home directory. Editing .grassrc6 fixed it and now GRASS and R can talk to each other again. 

Again, thank you for the help! 

Martin
