Have you configured the source code first with ./configure? See also (B) 
COMPILATION in the INSTALL file.

1. get source code for grass-6.4.0RC3, this version is much better than 
grass-6.2.3
2. run ./configure within the directory grass-6.4.0RC3 with your choice 
of configuration options, optionally first ./configure --help to see 
configuration options
3. only now can you 'make' grass
