Robert, A binary release of LDM 6.0.13 is available at ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/sunos_5.7-i86pc/ldm-6.0.13.tar.Z It is designed to be unpacked in the LDM user's home-directory. It will create and populate the subdirectory "ldm-6.0.13". You will need to 1. Vet the bin/ldmadmin script. In particular, vet the following: hostname perl ldmhome udunits pq_size numlogs 2. If Datoo is sending data to the outside world (i.e. outside LSU), then please ensure that the LDM configuration file (etc/ldmd.conf) runs the "rtstats" utility. 3. Switch the LDM. For example: $ cd ~ $ ldmadmin stop ... $ ps -ef | grep ldmd ... $ rm runtime && ln -s ldm-6.0.13 runtime && \ bin/ldmadmin start && bin/ldmadmin watch Please let me know if you have any problems.
