I had exactly this problem with ftp'ed binaries.  They don't include
gmake4.1 or the libraries you need to compile your own or contributed
GRASS programmes.  People who compiled their versions of GRASS from 
source do not have this problem.

I had to get the source code, cut out everything I didn't need,
(just about everything except the libraries, and a few scripts). 
then I ran gisbase/src/CMD/utils/setup, a script which creates 
gmake4.1(a front end to a script gisbase/src/CMD/generic/gmake.sh)
I then ran gmake4.1 in each of the libraries (gisbase/src/libes/...)
to create the libraries. 


mail me if you want some more info   8-)
