Celia,

I built the LDM 6.0.10 package and installed most of it OK.  Here's what
I did:

    $ cd ~ldm
    $ su ldm
    ...
    $ exec bash
    $ cd ldm-6.0.10/src
    $ /usr/bin/make distclean
    $ LDMHOME=/home/ldm ./configure &>configure.log
    $ /usr/bin/make &>make.log
    $ /usr/bin/make install &>install.log
    $ cd ../bin
    $ vi ldmadmin
    <ensured that the "ldmadmin" script matched ~ldm/bin/ldmadmin>
    $ cd ~/etc
    $ vi ldmd.conf
    <vetted regular expressions>
    $ vi pqact.conf
    <vetted regular expressions>
    $ 

The log files from the above still exist if you want to look at them.

You'll need to complete the installation as root:

    $ cd /home/ldm/ldm-6.0.10/src
    $ su
    ...
    $ /usr/bin/make install_setuids
    ...
    $ exit

Then stop the LDM, switch the runtime link, and start the LDM:

    $ cd /home/ldm
    $ bin/ldmadmin stop
    ...
    $ ps -efax | grep ldmd      # make sure the LDM has stopped!
    ...
    $ rm runtime && ln -s ldm-6.0.10 runtime && bin/ldmadmin start

NOTE: If you use the csh(1) shell, then you'll probably have to do a
"rehash" before executing the "bin/ldmadmin start" command.

Contact me if you have any questions.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
