hi frank, 
 
thank you for your support, 
using your advice i`ve got the mapserver-grass connection running.

yes there were only one gdal installation but as mentioned before 2 proj4 installations. 
i struggled because the rpm i used from the freegis cd used an upper case PROJ4.. title 
and my own builded a lower case (proj4...), mostly my fault...

nope...

No, cpl_config.h includes "#define HAVE_LIBDL 1"

i had to erease both proj4 installations and reinstall  
proj-4.4.7 
doing so i could compile and install the gdal-cvs snapshoot against  libgrass 
and grass raster files could be detected. 
 
after putting the .grassrc5 in the /srv/www/htdocs/ directory (suse 8.1) i could access  
the grass raster file from the mapfile via  
 
 
LAYER 
    NAME "test" 
    STATUS DEFAULT  
    TYPE RASTER 
    DATA "earth8bit at world"  
END     
 
where world was the grass mapset. 
 
 
best regards
