Bas,

I tried replacing gridtemplates.h with the new one you provided and then 
I recompiled GDAL, but the error I was having is the same as before.

Just to speak about the same data... If I run gdalinfo on this file: 
http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/DF.gr2/DC.ndfd/AR.neast/VP.001-003/ds.wspd.bin

I get the following:

As a side note I just noticed that when building GDAL I got the 
following linker warnings:

They seem to be related to the grib driver, could this be related to the 
error I have?

Thanks in advance...
