GDAL must be installed (gdal.org), see the "Requirements" section on the
downloads page. If GDAL *is* already installed make sure it installed
something called "libgdal.so.1" (run `locate libgdal`).

If "libgdal.so.1" doesn't exist but something like "libgdal.so" does,
make a symlink from the name of the existing library to the name of the
library that GRASS is looking for. eg:

ln -a /usr/lib/libgdal.so /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1

Or if it is in /usr/local/lib/, make sure that dir is listed in
/etc/ld.so.conf. If not, add it and rerun "ldconfig".
