/usr/bin/grass64 is the script starting GRASS, not a directory

in your case I think
GISBASE=/usr/lib/grass64

followed by
export PATH="$GISBASE/bin:$GISBASE/scripts:$PATH"

should do it because r.in.gdal should be in $GISBASE/bin = /usr/lib/grass64/bin

now tell GRASS where its libraries are:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GISBASE/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
also do
export GRASS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$GISDBASE/lib is nonsense because GISDBASE is the location of a GRASS database
