$GISBASE is a shell environmental variable which points to the directory on
your computer where GRASS is installed. In your case, this looks like
"/usr/local/grass5".

Not sure where spearfish is coming from, although it will be the GRASS
variable (not shell variable!) called GISDBASE  (note the "D").

see http://grass.ibiblio.org/gdp/html_grass5/env_vars.html

The problem should have gone away when you restart GRASS, as long as you
didn't specify anything about spearfish in the configure step during compilation.

For versions of GRASS 5.3 or newer you don't need to install the GD library.
good luck, write to the mailing list if you have any further problems.
