Glenn, The problem Harry had compiling the LDM on Debian Linux has reared it's ugly head on Red Had 5.2 What approach are we going to take? I looked up the answer in the LDM archive. Here's the output from today's compile on sunshine. Robb...

Are people using ldm 5.0.6 on Redhat 5.2 systems? I just grabbed it and unpacked it. I just started the compile, and I'm kinda surprised it didn't compile right 'out-of-the-box'. I just got some error messages in the rpc section clnt_generic.c - it looks like a problem with prototype declaration or something, I'm sure it will be easy to fix. My main question though is this - do we need a ulog patch from Rob, or is that in the unidata distribution. It didn't look like Rob has a patch for 5.0.6 on his site. I tried 5.0.6 on another rh 5.2 system a while back, and i did get it to compile, but it didn't work. so i downgraded to 5.0.5 and things do work, but i'm seeing enough odd things that i thought it would be good to upgrade. so - how are people doing with 5.0.6? dana
