[gradsusr] Difficulty installing dap (opendap)

[Jennifer M Adams]

Hi, Scott —
The two dap libraries (libdap and gadap) are needed for accessing station data via opendap, a little-used GrADS feature. The libs are written in C++, and have always been somewhat of a challenge to compile. There are no resources within COLA to udpate the gadap library in order to meet the needs of modern operating systems and compilers, or to test it with newer versions of libdap. You can easily skip over these two libraries and keep moving forward with your build. But why not just use our pre-compiled binaries:

I hit a compile error midway through in dds.y (see below for build commands and snippet of output where errors start).  Has anyone run into this and overcome it?  Otherwise, has anyone had luck installing GrADS 2.2 with a newer version of libdap?  Opendap has been less than helpful I think since this is a modified version of 3.7.8.  Any help is much appreciated.
