Kare,
in addition to the TOFU advise,

running configure of grib_api-1.9.9_libtool.tar.gz
on my XP-SP3 gave no problem.

"Configuration completed."

The ANSI C test is a basic one

configure:6808: checking for ANSI C header files
configure:6828: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
configure:6828: $? = 0
configure:6901: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2   conftest.c  >&5
configure:6901: $? = 0
configure:6901: ./conftest.exe
configure:6901: $? = 0
configure:6912: result: yes

so a BLODA interference is possible
