[gradsusr] Grads 2.2.0 gxprint libpng error

[Marco Biordi - PODOS3D]

Hello users,

when I run grads and make an hardcopy with the command gxprint I get an empty 
PNG image and GrADS return the following error


libpng warning: Image width exceeds user limit in IHDR
libpng warning: Image height exceeds user limit in IHDR
gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Invalid IHDR data


I run GrADS 2.2.0, pre-built grads-2.2.0-bin-rhel6.4-x86_64.tar.gz.

My system (Centos-6.5-x86_64) is still on libpng-1.2.49; when I run grads, it 
fails with error "GX Package Error: dlopen failed to get a handle on gxprint 
plug-in named "Cairo", "libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory".

So I have build myself libpng-1.15.12 and all commands except gxprint now seem 
to work.


Before to run grads I do commands:

 > setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/util/grads/libpng-1.5.12/lib

 > setenv GADDIR /usr/util/grads/data

 > setenv GAUDPT /usr/util/grads/udpt [ maybe redundant ]

File udpt contains these lines:
