If you give the error messages we may be able to help. You could also
try
http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/grads-1.9b4.1.tar.gz
if you intend to use --enable-dyn-supplibs.

As a side note, there are known bugs in that tarball, that should be
fixed in the cvs of
http://opengrads.org/
though using a cvs version is not very newbie oriented.
