Re: using macports, dap fails to compile on Lion due to redefined getline()

[Shad Sterling]

Looks like someone from macports has already fixed it: 
https://trac.macports.org/changeset/97057
Now ${sudo port install dap} succeeds.

I didn't realize dap was unmaintained (that would be a good thing to mention on 
the website).  I found dap looking for SAS alternatives that will run on my 
mac, because I'm expected to use SAS for a statistics course I'm taking and I 
don't have any windows machines anymore.  If I am able to use dap for this 
course I'm up for helping to keep it running as long as I'm using it, but I 
can't promise anything beyond that.
