You probably more precisely meant a GNU/Linux system 
as compiled by RedHat or Suse.

If you don't have much experience with building software
and unix in particular you should try to get a binary distribution
of GRASS and not building it yourself.

(There are some available like the FreeGIS rpms and other,
currently don't have the URLs at hand.)

Otherwise you must install a the rpms coming with your distributions
for the software development environment.
