I assume your gdal is installed under /usr/local.

Try adding the following 2 lines:

/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/lib

to your /etc/ld.so.conf

Then run ldconfig as root.

/usr/local/lib is for gdal and other libs installed in your /usr/local,
/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/lib is for grass 6.3.
