it appears as the decoders were build sufficiently but before you can run
the decoders, UDUNITS_PATH needs to be set.

% setenv UDUNITS_PATH  (udunits install path)/etc/udunits.dat

to check, do a

% ls $UDUNITS_PATH

now you can run the decoders, first create a cdl , netcdf template file

decoder path location:

bin/gribtocdl -v <raw grib file>  > model.cdl

bin/gribtonc -l - model.cdl model.nc < model.raw

you might want to copy the netcdf/bin/ncgen to decoders/bin dir
if gribtonc is having a problem finding it.
