These instructions pertain only to the build of the supplibs, and only if
you build them separately by hand. If you start with the opengrads
supplibs-2.0.1 sources (or binaries) this detail is already taken care of
for you. (The main point of the top GNUmakefile in the supplibs
super-package is to ensure internal consistency among all the libraries,
using pkg-config whenever possible, and furthermore tailoring the build for
grads builds. Building the supplibs package after package by hand is
possible, but it is prone to errors if you do not attend to all the annoying
details. Such is the reality of managing the growing number of grads
dependencies.)

Now, if you have already built the supplibs, there is no netcdf disabling
required (or recommended) when building grads proper. There you simply
configure and make:

cd grads-2.x.x....
./configure
make
make install prefix=/some/path

Important Note: The sources for grads-2.0.a0 released by COLA *do not*,
repeat *do not*, build out of the box with the supplibs-2.0.1, although it
contains all the necessary libraries.
