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
