Reading NetCDF

[Don Hooper]

Arlindo Oliva Meque,

That may be a bad build you have there.  Try setting the environment
variable "GADDIR" to point to where you put udunits.dat (and the
font files, etc.) in your distribution.  It's complaining because it
can't find it, and has a bad default value (the default should be
/usr/local/lib/grads, I believe).  It's not just sdfopen that's in
trouble because of this lack of information.  Running GrADS without
its fonts is no fun, either.
