Maybe the RPM database doesn't know that libgd.so.1.8 is installed.
Perhaps it wasn't installed from an RPM, or the RPM specifies a
different name. E.g. for the "gd" RPM from RedHat 6.2:

	$ rpm -q --provides gd
	libgd.so.1  
	libgd.so.1(GCC.INTERNAL)  
	gd = 1.3-6

	$ rpm -ql gd
	/usr/doc/gd-1.3
	/usr/doc/gd-1.3/index.html
	/usr/doc/gd-1.3/readme.txt
	/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.2

Use "-nodeps".

Note that the GD library is only used by the PNG driver; even if your
GD library isn't compatible, the rest of GRASS will still work.
