I am currently the mantainer of the archlinux grads package at

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=7868

It is not a binary package, You have to recompile it, but it includes a
patch which:

1) Solves some warnings in compilation
2) Use Netcdf-3 interface instead of Netcdf-2 for netcdf sdf
3) Add shapefile format capabilities for mpdset data sources (links
against shapelib (http://shapelib.maptools.org/).
4) Correct a small bug for the linking of imagemagick for the deprecated
wi capability.
5) Link against new libnc-dap and dap++
6) Revamps autotools layer

I had another GRADS "custom" version, with capability to open stdout as
file target for images (useful in CGI environment where I did not want
for megabytes of scratch images lying around), but I did distribute it
more than five years ago and the server where it was hosted has long
gone. Was not hard to implement, but now with cheap-as-chips storage I
think it should be not nedded anymore.

Ciao,
