We're in the process of installing LDM here in Wilmington, NC. Referring to 
the latest ERH ATN on installing LDM 5.08, I have run into a couple of 
small hurdles.

Specifically, Step 5 wants me to type source_profile at the prompt, as user 
LDM. Should this be source .profile?

I type source_profile, and get the message source_profile: Command not 
found.

I tried using 
/usr/lib/builtins/source .profile

Did this accomplish what I needed to accomplish?

Second...

Our LDAD is using Perl 4, and therefore I need to create a symbolic link to 
point to Perl 5.

I can't link /usr/contrib/bin/perl to /usr/local/perl5/bin/perl because 
/usr/contrib/bin/perl exists.

Can someone offer more explicit instructions so I can proceed with this 
installation?

Thanks for any help!

Carl Morgan

command name is source and the input to the command is .profile.  
     
I type source_profile, and get the message source_profile: Command not 
found.

point to Perl 5.
     
     Since none of the ldad perl scripts use Perl 4 (look at any of them 
     and they call /usr/local/perl5/bin/perl, you could probably remove the 
     existing link and recreate to point to perl5.  OR you could edit the 
     ldm perl scripts (ldmadmin is the main one) and change the first line 
     to /usr/local/perl5/bin/perl.
     
I can't link /usr/contrib/bin/perl to /usr/local/perl5/bin/perl because 
/usr/contrib/bin/perl exists.

     Carl,
     
     It's possible that the install package you have may have had a script 
     named "source_profile" in it.  Anyway, your best bet would be to 
     source the user's default profile (source ~/.profile).  I should note 
     that our LDAD does not have a .profile in user LDAD's home directory.  
     We do, however, have a .cshrc which sets up the environment variables 
     and such.
     
     I think Randy already suggested that you can change the "#!" line in 
     the ldmadmin script to point to /usr/local/perl5/bin/perl rather than 
     /usr/contrib/bin/perl.  Another suggestion would be to alter your 
     $PATH environment (probably set in ~/.cshrc) and add 
     /usr/local/perl5/bin BEFORE the /usr/contrib/bin entry.  This will 
     force the use of Perl v. 5.003 rather than v. 4 for any Perl scripts 
     which do not contain the "#!" line.  You'll still have to change any 
     scripts, though, as Randy suggested that explictly call the older 
     version of Perl using the "#!" line or perhaps in a cron.

We're up and running now. The source_profile problem was the result of an 
incorrect path, and the Perl4/5 problem was corrected by renaming 
/usr/contrib/bin/perl before creating the link to 
/usr/local/Perl5/bin/perl.

Thanks to Fred Pierce, as well as those who responded here!
