GRASS doesn't install headers into the system header directories (e.g. 
/usr/include), but into the GRASS directory hierarchy (e.g. 
/usr/local/grass6/include). You need to use a -I switch to specify the
location, e.g.

	gcc -c -I /usr/local/grass6/include main.c

GRASS is quite a complex package, and may be quite hard to use if you
are new to C programming.
