Hi all,

I'm trying to build GrADS and GradsPy on Ubuntu 16.04. I've found some 
help in the archives but still no success. Here is what I have tried and 
any help or suggestions would be welcome.

sudo su
mkdir /usr/local/lib/grads
cd /usr/local/lib/grads
wget 
ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/Supplibs/2.2/builds/supplibs-centos7.4-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzf supplibs-centos7.4-x86_64.tar.gz
# had to do the following as it seems that the 2.2 dir is expected
mkdir 2.2
mv supplibs 2.2/.

# not sure if this is needed but archive suggested it
ln -s /usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs/libpng15.so.15 /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs/libhdf5.so.8 /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs/libnetcdf.so.7 /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs/libhdf5_hl.so.8 /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs/libtiff.so.3 /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs/libgeotiff.so /usr/lib/

cd ~woodbri
mkdir -p work/grads
cd work/grads
wget ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/2.2/grads-2.2.1-src.tar.gz
tar xzf grads-2.2.1-src.tar.gz

I have tried:

$ ./configure --with-hdf5=/usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs 
--with-geotiff=/usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs 
--with-netcdf=/usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs 
--with-hdf4=/usr/local/lib/grads/2.2/supplibs

which resulted in:

 
+=========================================================================+
    GrADS 2.2.1 : Configured on 01/03/19 for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+=========================================================================+

   +-------------------------------+
   |                               |
   |  GrADS will be built with:    |
   |                               |
   |  - GUI disabled               |
   |  + READLINE enabled           |
   |  + GEOTIFF enabled            |
   |  + SHAPEFILE enabled          |
   |  + GD enabled                 |
   |  + CAIRO enabled              |
   |  + GRIB2 enabled              |
   |  - HDF4 disabled              |
   |  + HDF5 enabled               |
   |  - NETCDF disabled            |
   |  - OPeNDAP disabled           |
   |                               |
   +-------------------------------+

but I need netcdf support, so I tried the following which looked 
promising until I tried to compile it:

Run 'make && make install' to build GrADS.

specified.
