[gradsusr] gd Library

Did you try using the supplibs tarball I posted ? Untar it and set the environment variable SUPPLIBS to point to its location. See if that changes anything for the GrADS configuration. 

If that fails, here is a much larger tarball:
ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/Supplibs/2.0/bin/supplibs-with-src.aix.tar.gz
...with all the source codes and builds for each library under supplibs/src. Look there for config.log files that show how each library was compiled. In the libshape directory, it looks like there is a new Makefile that has some extra switches to gcc ("-maix64") and some other mods. 

This is about as much help as I am going to be able to provide. I have not done the build on AIX, so I am not familiar with all the compiler/linker errors.

So, I requested for your help in getting details building the libs and ultimately Grads-2 from him/her. If I can get the final GrADS-2 binaries that will be very good for me (if possible and if that will work here too!!)..

So perhaps you need to specify --without-Freetype (or similar syntax) when you invoke configure. I'm not entirely sure whether that will work, it's always a bit of a guessing game and AIX compilers are notoriously fussy and annoying. You do not need the Freetype interface in gd for GrADS. You could also try editing the config.h file after running configure to see if it has some flag in there regarding Freetype that you could change from a 1 to a 0…
