Do you have cygwin installed on your system? First make sure the directory
where you have your DLLs is in your path. If it still complains about
missing DLLs you may need to install these using the standard cygwin setup
procedure.
More information about cygwin at http://cygwin.com.

You may find that the Win32 Superpack more straightforward to install. It
uses a traditional windows automatic installer that should get you going in
less than 5 minutes. All you need is included, no need to install cygwin
separately or get an X server. You will be able to run GrADS from the
[Start] menu, or from an icon on your desktop (just click on Ollie, the
friendly turtle.) You can download it from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/grads2-windows/2.0.a7.oga.2/

Windows specific information available on this wiki:

Although this build includes the opengrads extensions, you are free to
ignore them. This build should have all the same features found in the
regular v2.0.a7.1 build from COLA.
