Bill, Could you update me with the status of the LDM install? For my sanity sake, I'm sending the pre-Install and Binary-Install and Source-Install URLs that should answer most install questions. http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmPreInstallList.html http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmBinaryInstallList.html http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmSourceInstallList.html One main point, if the above install instructions are performed, then multiple versions of the LDM can be installed in the same ~ldm directory without overwriting older versions of the LDM. This is a bonus because if a new install has a problem, then reverting back to an older version can be done by changing a simple "runtime" link. I also send an early note before I was informed that there could be a possible include file problem. If this is the case then you should install the binary LDM, hopefully the differences in OS minor version should not be a problem. There is one con point, the binary install will overwrite a source or vise-versa.
