grib_api
The grib_api software library must be build and installed before you try to build OpenIFS on your system. Although you may have a version of grib_api on your system already that would most likely work, it is recommended that you build and install the version of the software provided on the OpenIFS ftp site. This version will have been tested with OpenIFS and known to work.
