Hi,

why do I need to add /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib to PATH variable before 
to build GRASS (as suggested by Paul Kelly's notes)?

During GRASS compilation, after each module is compiled it is run with the --html-description command-line option, to generate part of the man pages. You need to have any DLLs the modules depend on in the PATH so that the modules will run correctly. It is not needed for compiling though - the locations specified using --with-*-libs to configure are used for compiling. So if you don't have the DLLs in the PATH then you won't be able to generate the man pages properly; that's all.
