Re: 20020421: LDM 5.1.2

HI Adam, 

We were discussing your situation, and hypothesized that you must be
running the binary build. Yes, we have seen issues with the binary build
and certain versions of RH 7.x. We have found Solaris quite stable and
have also found RH 7.x stable if built from source. Some 7.0 binary build
resources may be uncompatible w/RH 7.1 or 7.2.

So we suggest building the LDM from source, this way it will use the
compiler that came with your RH dist AND you can upgrade to LDM 5.1.4

I think this is better than trying to de-bug the current version.

Since you already have the LDM installed the upgrade is fairly quick.

The instructions are at:

http://unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmSourceInstallList.html

and then re-direct your runtime link to the current LDM version.


Sorry for all the hassles, some OS's just behave better than others for
the LDM.


Thanks and keep us posted, 

-Jeff
