Hi Tiziana, re: > Here are the conf and log file you requested. Thanks. RE: > Thank you very much for looking into this. I see two things that are of some concern: ldmd.conf The pattern you are using in your REQUEST lines to ldm.madis.ncep.noaa.gov are not what I would use to request everything. For instance: request FSL2 "\.*" ldm.madis.ncep.noaa.gov is probably better changed to: request FSL2 ".*" ldm.madis.ncep.noaa.gov The second thing has nothing to do with receipt or processing of MADIS or other data from ldm.madis.ncep.noaa.gov, it is the failure to run the ldm-mcidas 'pnga2area' decoder on the UNIWISC images that you are receiving. Here is an example error entry from the ldmd.log file you sent: Apr 3 13:44:31 io pqact[24805] ERROR: [filel.c:1404] Couldn't execute decoder "/home/ldm/decoders/ldm-mcidas/bin/pnga2area" I would check to make sure that: - /home/ldm/decoders/ldm-mcidas/bin/pnga2area exists - and, if it exists is it executable? - and, if it exists and is executable, are all of the shared libraries that it needs available you can check this by running: ldd /home/ldm/decoders/ldm-mcidas/bin/pnga2area A listing were all shared libraries are found will look something like: % ldd ~ldm/decoders/pnga2area linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffe08ddd000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x0000003da0c00000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x0000003d9e800000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003d9d800000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1 (0x0000003da1000000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003d9e000000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003d9d400000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXau.so.6 (0x0000003da0800000) Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
