Here it is:
http://ogdi.sourceforge.net/
"OGDI is the Open Geographic Datastore Interface".

It is used to import for example VMAP0 vector data.

Do you refer to the 'grass.itc.it' binaries?
Since they are linked against dynamic GDAL libs I don't see the
problem (as I am not aware of distributing GDAL on 'grass.itc.it').

tar tvfz grass-5.7.cvs-i686-pc-linux-gnu-20_11_2004.tar.gz  |grep -i gdal

Could you go into the lib/ directory of the installed binary 
snapshot and run

ldd * > lib_deps.txt

and post this file to me (not to the list)?

Here you can get linux/SUN/MS-Windows etc binaries:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11181
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=ogdi&submit=Search+...
 etc
(ok, seems to be missing in Debian)

If you compiled GDAL yourself, simply diable OGDI:
--without-ogdi

Please let me know where you got GRASS and where you got GDAL
to better understand the problem.
