I would also like to have grib files on Linux. Only way I can see is to use WINE but I haven't tried that as a dedicated Linux program would be so much more efficient to run, especially on batteries.

I am trying to install a program called zyGrib to see if I can read grib files but I am having a problem with one of the dependencies called qt4. If I can get it sorted I will let you know.

There are several apps on sourceforge.net which are platform-independant eg java (JGRIB, Viperfish etc) so you shouldn't need to run WINE.

zyGrib is awesome - very like uGrib and MUCH more user friendly than Viperfish or GRADs.
It is however a royal PITA to get running - requiring on my EeePC new packages and a rewrite of the makefile - may look at creating a EeePC .deb installation file sometime soon.
PM me if you know enough about Linux to do this and I'll link to a HowTo.

I used apt-get to get qt4-dev-tools and libqt4-dev
Then had to change the makefile to look at /usr/bin/qmake-qt4
Worked well after that - but not non-advanced user friendly.

I am currently installing the whole qt4 package from trolltech as I am still unable to find qmake in any /usr/lib directory?
