ok, well then only libgdal is missing, thanks for this info

it's Linux

how do I install libgdal (as well with gmake5 as you described?) and what is a 
suitable location? 
as far as I understood your gmake5 instruction, I do have to reinstall the 
grass5 source so that the files are partially build/configured before I will 
be able to install libgdal, don't I?.

thanks Martin
