Start with 
grass-6.0.0-mh3.i686.rpm
gdal-1.2.6-mh2.i686.rpm
proj-4.4.9-mh4.i686.rpm  

If those complain about missing dependancies, start installing ogdi,
netcdf, etc packages as needed.

Generally not needed unless you want to do development work or use the
latest CVS. If you want to try, here's a config line which might work.

(you'll need to install a lot of -dev packages though)

Redhat 9:
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure \
    --with-motif --with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include \
    --with-motif-libs=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib \
    --with-glw --with-cxx \
    --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
    --without-postgres \
    2>&1 | tee config_log.txt
