RPM only knows about files which were installed from RPMs. Because you
didn't install GDAL and FFTW via RPM, RPM doesn't know that they are
installed, so it is telling you that you need to install them.

Searching on rpmfind.net shows GDAL and FFTW RPMs for Mandrake. 
Alternatively, you can use "rpm --force ..." to install ignore the
dependency issues. However, note that GRASS won't work with FFTW
3.0.1; it requires FFTW 2.x.
