Adjacent Relative-Prime #s In Grid

For an n-by-n grid, how many ways are there to place the integers 1
through n^2 in the grid, one integer per grid-square, such that each
integer is relatively prime to the integers adjacent to it
(above/below/right/left)?
( Note: This is not the same as my puzzle I posted yesterday to sci.math
and rec.puzzles, "GCD=1 Grid-Path Puzzle #1",
since here the integer m doesn't have to be adjacent to the integers
(m +-1).)
An n=5 example:
15 2 5 4 3
22 17 18 19 8
7 6 25 24 11
20 13 12 23 10
21 16 1 14 9
Thanks,
Leroy Quet
