That really depends on what system you are running. Each Operating
System or Distribution & version will be different. You might ask 
for your specific system & version. For starters:

http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass5/source/REQUIREMENTS.html


For a Debian GNU/Linux system, look in the "build-depends" file or get
the -dev versions of the required packages listed here:

http://packages.debian.org/testing/science/grass

This list will be somewhat generic.

Also on Debian, the "apt-file" program can be very useful. Run
./configure or look at the end of config.log to see what is missing, and
use apt-file to find out what package you need to provide that.


Finally, (again for Debian) here's my list:
