Hi Fabian,

re: help getting GEMPAK decoders working in new (?) LDM setup

> Thank you so much!

No worries.

It would be useful for us to know which of the possible causes for
your error that we outlined yesterday was actually the cause of the
problem.  Can you let us know what did to get things working?

re:
> The only errors I see now are these:
> Any help with this you can provide is appreciated!

A couple of things:

- it would be much easier for us if you simply copied the text snippit from
  a log file and included it in your follow-up contact instead of capturing
  the text as an image

  This is not a big thing for us, but it would help us more easily quote
  things that we see in our reply to you.

- it appears that you have a pattern-action file action that is trying to
  run a script called 'sat_script.csh' and this script is supposed to be
  located in the ~ldm/bin directory

  Is this true?

  If yes, I must caution you that it is NOT a good idea to put non-LDM
  executables in the ~ldm/bin directory.  The reason for this is that the
  bin directory will get replaced when a new version of the LDM is 
built/installed.
  It is MUCH better to put non-LDM decoding and/or processing scripts in
  a directory like ~ldm/decoders or ~ldm/util (as long as you make sure
  that the directory chosen is in the PATH of the user running the LDM).

Can you send us the ~ldm/ldmd.conf and pattern-action file(s) you have
your configured your LDM to use in your installation?  Seeing what you
are trying to do will help us to diagnose your problem and suggest solutions.

Cheers,

Tom
