weird. rpm for your distro or from another?

See if something like libgdal.so exists on your disk ("locate libgdal"
might work). If it does,

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libgdal.so libgdal.so.1

(or whatever your libgdal.so is called)
This to makes a symbolic link to the real library with the name your 
GRASS binary wants.

Then rerun ldconfig. Maybe cleaner to do:
ln -s /usr/lib/libgdal.so /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1

(make sure /usr/local/lib in is /etc/ld.so.conf)


If there is no libgdal on your system you need to make sure the GDAL
package is installed correctly.

rpm -q gdal
