It's been quite busy here. At the command line do 'echo $PATH'. You should see /usr/local/ldm/bin somewhere in your path. It's probably not there, or the OS would have found it. But, this could reveal the problem with your path. If you don't see a problem email the result to me. You could 'cd' to /usr/local/ldm/bin and do './ldmadmin start' to get around the path problem, assuming your ldm isn't looking for other programs that it can't find. But, this should at least allow you to start the ldm and see something in the logs. Similarly, you can 'cd' to /usr/local/ldm/bin and do './ldmadmin log' or './ldmadmin tail' to see the log or follow the end of the log. If things aren't working, send me a copy of your log.
