If you have downloaded the source file, you have to make the binaries for your 
system. This chrashed on my system (RH5.2) so I downloaded the binaries and 
wizz there was I running Grass on my i486. (I haven't checked if there are binaries 
for RH6.0 on the ftp but this might be an easy way out of the problem).

If you unzip/untar the file you have downloaded there will be a INSTALL file which 
will guide you through the installation. The commands to do this is:

Copy your file to the place where you want to install the program. This is usually 
/usr/local

cp grass*.tar.gz /usr/local/grass*.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/
gunzip grass*.tar.gz
tar -xvf grass.tar

When the file is untared you can find the INSTALL file and read this before you 
proceed.
