Cola8 down or my bad?

[William Voorsluys]

Hi Daniel,

Today I was experiencing the exact same problem. I also use Debian Linux.

To make it work I had to build GRADS from source. However it hasn't
been an easy task as several libraries must be installed and it
requires an older version of libnc-dods.

If you prefer I can send the gradsdods binary I've built on Debian
Linux for you to try.
