Jim,

Wise move :-)

>> DECODELIB=$LDMLIB:/soft/nawips/lib/sol

This line has a problem.  The expression $LDMLIB: will get interpreted
as one item.  What you want instead is:

DECODELIB=${LDMLIB}:/soft/nawips/lib/sol

>> #
>> UTILBIN=$LDMHOME/util

>>         if [ -x $LDMBIN/ldmadmin ] ; then
>>                 PATH=$PATH:$LDMBIN:$DECODEBIN:$UTILBIN; export PATH

This line has the same problem as the DECODELIB above.  It should read:

                 PATH=${PATH}:${LDMBIN}:${DECODEBIN}:${UTILBIN}; export PATH

>>                 MANPATH=$MANPATH; export MANPATH
>>                 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$DECODELIB; export LD_LIBRA
> RY_PATH

This line has the same problem as the DECODELIB above.  It should read:

                 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${DECODELIB}; export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

>>                 echo ""

Where the NAWIPS decoders are installed doesn't matter; this is handled
by your PATH.  Your original problem was that the shared Fortran
library, libF77.so.4, could not be found.  The solution is correctly
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that it can be found by the decoder executables.

Again, the environment variable settings were incorrect.

After you modify your environment variable settings in the boot LDM
startup script, things should work fine.
