Did you download the supplibs-2.0.1 and followed instructions in the INSTALL
file?

I shouldn't be a problem provided you specify the location of the supplibs
explicitly:

gmake SUPPLIBS=/some/path

The main point is: it does not use the grib2lib, png, etc bundled with the
standard wgrib2 distro.

This should not be a problem. The particular version of gcc becomes more of
an issue when dealing with C++ code (such as OPeNDAP in gradsdap/gradsdods).

BTW, we just completed the first "configure" script for wgrib2. We are still
testing it and will be submitting to Wes for possible adoption.
