Re: 19990602: LDM Install on Linux

Jim,

There are problems with 5.0.6 on Linux, there is a linux tar file in the
ftp directory that will work.  

% ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
% cd pub/ldm5
% get linux.tar.Z

If you are still having compiling problems, there is a binary at:

% cd pub/binary/linux_2.2-i686/ldm-5.0.8.tar.Z

But it's better to build from source because of the diferences in Linux.
If all else fails, I'll take a look at it.
