I have packaged grads in fedora Extras 4, you can find the rpm on
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/x86_64/
for example, together with dependencies. In this package the legally
problematic files have been removed.

In case you want to rebuild it with the legally problematic files,
I have put a tarball with some patches and modified autoconf and system
that allows to use the system libraries at
http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/grads-1.9b4.1.tar.gz
To use the system libraries, you'll have to specify
./configure  --enable-dyn-supplibs

You'll also need the development packages,
libdap-devel
libnc-dap-devel
netcdf-devel
hdf-devel
libsx-devel
readline-devel
udunits-devel
zlib-devel
libjpeg-devel
gd-devel
libpng-devel
libXmu-devel
libX11-devel

and their dependencies.
