Compiling grads2.0a - how to configure and how to compile?

Stefan,
grads2.0a has not been configured to find the supplibs packages in the
form that supplibs-2.x.x has them. I managed to get it compile by
linking what grads wants to where they actually are.
If you are confident in editing the configure/makefile scripts, then you
may be able to make this work properly. However if, like me, you are not
then you will need to work around it.
The first main problem is that you need to remove the i686-pc-linux-gnu
part of the supplibs path. How you do this is up to you, but ultimately
you need the path to the include directory in supplibs to be
"/usr/src/supplibs/include", not "/usr/src/supplibs/i686-pc-linux-
gnu/include"
After that, you need to make sure grads can find the individual
packages, I did this using symbolic links as shown below. Not the most
elegant method, but it does work.
Cheers,
Paul
PS. I have had a couple of issues in compiling GrADS (1.9-rc1 and 2.0a)
concerning the supplibs-2.x.x package that it would be nice to get
sorted.
In 1.9-rc1, the expected netcdf include to hdf "hdf/netcdf.h" is
actually named "hdf/hdf4_netcdf.h" when supplibs is compiled. It is a
simple renaming exercise, but nonetheless a little frustrating when it
can and should just work.
In 2.0a, in order for the GUI interface to work you need the include
file "freq.h" and library "libfreq.a" which I assume are part of the
libsx package. The problem is that these files are not created as part
of the supplibs package, and neither are they mentioned on the Grads2.0a
dependencies table http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html
How do I get at them?
