Hi Steve,

Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news for your person.  The new version 
of the LDM will not run on an HPUX 11.0.  We're aware of the problem but we're 
not sure how to fix it.  Unfortunately, the priority of the problem is 
currently not very high on our list, in part due to other pressing issues but 
also in part due to the fact that we don't have a support contract with HPUX.  
If your person is interested and willing to delve into this, any and all 
information would be greatly appreciated.  I suspect a call to HP would be in 
order.  

Regarding the configure script, although we were unable to run the software on 
our HPUX 11.0, we were at least able to build it.  We didn't encounter this 
particular problem.  Still, I will pass this information on.

I'm sorry the news isn't better.

Anne
