Hsie,

>8.0 PC.

As long as you are installing ldm-mcidas decoders under a new version
of RedHat Linux, you should also upgrade to the latest version of the
ldm-mcidas decoders, v2002b (actually, you should use the latest
ldm-mcidas decoder distribution, because it contains fixes for problems
first seen under RedHat 8).  And, as long as you are doing this,
why not use the binary distribution of the decoders:

Click on the Version 2002b 'RedHat 8.0 Linux' link to download the
binary distribution of ldm-mcidas v2002b for RedHat Linux 8.0.
