Daniel,

GRASS support currently only works with libgrass, not by pointing to
the regular GRASS tree.  So either skip GRASS (--without-grass) or
get libgrass and configure accordingly.  Note that if you want to use GDAL
with r.in.gdal and other GRASS code then GDAL should be built *without*
GRASS support builtin to avoid library conflicts.

Best regards,
