sudo make install (This command requires permission to write to /usr/local so you need to use sudo) If version 3.6 works for you though just use it from the repositories. sudo apt-get install netcdf-bin The advantage is that you don't have to worry about it, and the python bindings are also available. As for GrADS ./configure make sudo make install should work... Though for all cases where you use make install I highly suggest checkinstall (you need to install it first) sudo checkinstall This creates a deb package specific to your machine and the package gets installed via the package manager which keeps the system cleaner for upgrades later.
