OK this works fine once it compiles and accepts grib files for conversion to 
tiff. However...:) 

The following output does not look good.

chris123 at ubuntu:~/Grib_files$ /usr/local/bin/gdal_translate 
20081011_145104_408.grb gdalsample_test.tif
Input file size is 27, 15

So in theory this can work. However I'm in over my head on gdal so will leave 
this for others, perhaps Hamish, when he has time.
