OPeNDAP does not work on enabled NCL 6.1.0 precompiled binary for Mac OS 10.6

Dear NCL-Talk,

Problem 1:

The "OPeNDAP-enabled" precompiled binary for Mac OS 10.6
(ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.MacOS_10.6_i386_64bit_gcc460.tar) does not appear to
have OPeNDAP functionality. See the following example:

**** code begin ****
infile="http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/modeldata/cmd_flxf/1979/197907/19790724/flxf00.gdas.1979072418.grb2"
f=addfile(infile,"r")
**** code end ****

**** error message ****
fatal:_NclFileCreate: Requested file does not exist as
(http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/modeldata/cmd_flxf/1979/197907/19790724/flxf00.gdas.1979072418.grb2)
or as (http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/modeldata/cmd_flxf/1979/197907/19790724/flxf00.gdas.1979072418),
can't add file
**** error message ****

The file in the above example does indeed exist, as it opens fine with
my existing NCL 6.0.0 installation and with ncdump. I have verified
that the shell environment is setup correctly. Moreover, I have
conducted identical tests on two machines, a Mac Pro and a Mac Book
Pro, both running OS 10.6.8.

Problem 2:

The filename ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.MacOS_10.6_i386_64bit_gcc460.tar
indicates that the program was compiled for i386 64-bit. I am a
little puzzled, because i386 implies 32-bit. Is this a typo? The
precompiled binary for version 6.0.0 has an i686 tag in the filename,
as I would expect.

Bugs?

Thank you,
Sean
