Component: LibGIS Version: svn-develbranch6

Description

Setting GIS_H_VERSION to the SVN revision level and using that to check compatibility between clients and library means no two SVN revisions would be considered compatible. Is this intended ?

The attached patch makes the incompatibility error message more complete (and clearer to me).

Yes.

Indeed the current message (here, using spgrass6 in R):

GRASS GIS interface loaded with GRASS version: GRASS 6.4.2svn48651M (2011) 
and location: latlong
ERROR: Incompatible library version for module. You need to rebuild GRASS
       or untangle multiple installations.

is fairly unhelpful. No clue what to recompile since GRASS is working...
