I haven't finished the accompanying documentation, yet.

You definitely need proj,tcl,tk,fftw,freetype,sqlite,python installed.
Can you paste the error and which gdal you are using?  GRASS has many
dependencies.

You can usually guess the missing pieces from the library/dependency
name or you can let yum resolve the dependencies for you:

yum localinstall package_list

package_list being the GRASS and associated RPMs you downloaded.
