Jim, You need to built from source because the Linux binaries needs to be configured for the different venders otherwise one looses some functionality, ie logging. For example the syslog.pid is in different directories, named differently, etc. Also UPC doesn't have all different versions of Linux running. If you build from source, then the binaries are configured for your machine. Build instuctions are on the LDM web page.
