I see you are in a bash shell, setenv is not the appropriate command in a
bash shell. You should enter:

export LDMHOME=/usr/local/ldm

if doing from a bash shell.

from the cshell in your .cshrc file the setenv command should be used

"setenv LDMHOME /usr/local/ldm"

It is a PIPE command, here is an example for the AVN model output:
Remember all tabs no spaces in pqact.conf!

# AVN model on global 5.0 x 2.5 degree grids
HRS     ^H.[A-D]... KWB. (..)(..).*/mAVN
        PIPE    /usr/local/ldm/decoders/gribtonc
        etc/avn-a.cdl
        data/GRIB/(\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_avn-a.nc

Good Luck!
