Actually it is quite the opposite. I never had any dods 3.2 to test, so
I used macros from gdal and guessing, but all the real testing I did
begun with opendap 3.4, up to the current (beta) version 3.7.2 I use
now.

for 3.4 Jennifer gave all the information allready.

for 3.5 we have libdap for dap, netcdf api provided by libnc-dap, and
libcurl and libxml2 as dependencies (and these library dependencies,
especially curl ones given by curl-config). The scripts are dap-config
and ncdap-config.

at 3.7 it changed slightly, and the client side of dap used by grads
is now provided by libdapclient instead of dap (and maybe libdap is also
needed).

Be warned that you need a patch against grads that somebody sent on the list
for libdap above 3.5 (if I recall well). I certainly have it somewhere,
together with other changes required to compile with gcc4, if you want.
