grads package for linux debian

Hello,
I am interested in using grads as visualization tool for the
meteorological output of my NWP runs.
I want to install this software on my alpha machine where I have
installed the debian linux package.
Unfortunately in order to do it I am experiencing a number of problems
since the compilation of the grads code under debian generates a tons
of errors....
Do you know if a grads version fully compatible with debian is
available?
can you help me?
I have also tried with the pre-compiled binaries of grads but they do
not seem to work under debian
thanks a lot
Antonio
