Hsie,

If you can run readpng on cirrus, it should work being run from pqact.conf.
If it doesn't, I would suggest that it is

o not in a directory that is in the PATH of the LDM when the LDM was started

o the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in effect for pqact actions does not include the
  necessary directories to find all of the shared libraries

o your pqact.conf entry specifies the wrong directory for readpng

This looks OK.

I don't under the relationship between cirrus and cumulus.

The second entry would demand that readpng be in a directory in the PATH
of the user running the LDM when the LDM was started.

OK.  Are you decoding the images now?

I will send you information about setting up the ADDE server for GINI
data in a separate email.
