Ask your system administrator to install the openssl library on your system. For legal reasons, it’s not possible for us to link that library statically in our portable executables, but it is required for access to some opendap servers that many of our users rely on.

The configure script is not set up to manage any of these options. Guidance for building version 2.2.0 from source is at http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/supplibs2.html.

The new release merits a significant uptick because it merges the graphics capabilities from versions 2.0 and 2.1 and all the available graphics engines are now handled as plug-ins. You can choose at startup which rendering engine you’d like to use for interactive display and printing (defaults are Cairo). Documentation may be found here — please read the whole page.

The organization of the supplibs is a little different as well. Please see http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/supplibs2.html for guidance on building from source.
