[gradsusr] issue compiling GrADS 2.0.2 on CentOS 5 - found and fixed

[Parry, Rob]

Not sure why I would see this and not others, I assume devel team has compiled this source on many systems.

System is 32bit CentOS 5.10
Downloaded GrADS 2.0.2 today (ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/2.0/grads-2.0.2-src.tar.gz),
got all the dependencies installed but got the error:

gagmap.c: In function gribmap:
gagmap.c:468: error: intmax_t undeclared (first use in this function)
gagmap.c:468: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gagmap.c:468: error: for each function it appears in.)
gagmap.c:468: error: expected â)â before iseek
gagmap.c:475: error: expected â)â before iseek
gagmap.c:483: error: expected â)â before iseek
gagmap.c:651: error: expected â)â before iseek
gagmap.c:658: error: expected â)â before iseek
gagmap.c:665: error: expected â)â before iseek
make[2]: *** [gagmap.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/grads-2.0.2/src'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/grads-2.0.2/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I looked in the source and found that intmax_t is a type cast. So I searched /usr/include/*.h for intmax_t. Found it in stdint.h.
So I edited gagmap.c and simply added the line:

#include <stdint.h>

Source compiles successfully. Perhaps this needs to be a permanent fix?
