Thanks for the help so far!  I have installed the various libraries and 
the program,
which so far works only a little bit.  When I start the program with the 
Spearfish
data set, I get a quick look at a very early map, and then the message:

GRASS 6.0.0beta2:/home/david > Error in startup script: ps.map: error 
while loading shared libraries: libgdal.so.1: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory
    while executing
"exec ps.map -p"
    (procedure "DmPrint::init" line 14)
    invoked from within
"DmPrint::init"
    (procedure "main" line 31)
    invoked from within
"main $argc $argv"
    (file "/usr/local/grass-6.0.0beta2/etc/dm/d.m.tcl" line 891)
*
*The* **libgdal.so.1 *file does exist, at /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1, 
so I apparently need
to modify a search path somewhere, but cannot find anything in the 
docs.  Can anyone
help me out?  TIA
