try first:
   sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/gdal

mkdir without -p can't create two directories at once, and the parent
gdal/ one doesn't seem to exist yet.



better: add UbuntuGIS's launchpad ppa repository to your package
sources.list and get the pre-build grass plugin package with a newer
version of GDAL.
