Build GrADS 2.0.a5 on Opensuse 11.1

Wed Feb 11 11:00:51 EST 2009

Hi

I'm trying to build Grads 2.0 on a home PC running Opensuse 11.1 Linux.

I've unpacked the latest source code to home/grads2.0
Unpacked the supp files from data.tar into usr/local/lib/grads
Unpacked the supplib files from
ftp://grads.iges.org/grads/Supplibs/2.0/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu_supplibs2.0.tar.gz
to /usr/local/lib/grads/supplibs

When I run configure as below, it seems to find the the supplibs folder,
(can see files such as readline.h), but doesn't find udunits.h and other
files needed to enable an opendap install.  I also had this problem when I
was trying to build on Opensuse 10.2 but I "got around it" by finding some
precompiled version of Grads which worked when I had the supplibs folder as
above.  However, now I'd like to be able to build Grads 2.0 myself now.
I've started looking through the configure file, which helped me work out
that I need to define the location of SUPPLIBS as per output below, but I
can get no further.

Help will be well appreciated, thanks

James
