Hi Samuel,

re:

I agree in principle.  The problem is that others are running without error
on 64-bit Linux machines.

> Wouldn't this also be a problem for RHEL 5?

This is hard to say without figuring out exactly what is causing the problem you
are experiencing.

Building the binaries from source is always an option.  This approach should 
eliminate
the problems that arise because of a mismatch in system libraries used in the 
build
of the binary distribution and the ones available on the local machine(s).  One 
user
here in NCAR/EOL was having a problem with one of the 5.11.1 decoders being run 
by
the LDM; a source build on his machine (Debian Linux, not a RedHat variant) 
eliminated
the problem for him.

Cheers,

Tom
