Hi Ying,

OK.

re: output from 'env':

 ...

>LIBS=-lrpcsoc

I recommend that you do the following:

1) remove the define for LIBS
2) remove the setting for CFLAGS or change it to -O
3) _if_ you think you might want to build the LDM to be able to
   use a large queue ( <= 4 GB on Linux; the limit otherwise will
   be 2 GB ), set CPPFLAGS as follows:

CPPFLAGS=-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE

   If you don't want to make with a large queue, remove the setting
   of CPPFLAGS.

After making the changes I suggest, do the following:

<as the user building your LDM>

cd ~/ldm-6.0.14/src
make distclean
./configure
make
make install
sudo make install_setuids

>Linux unidata 2.4.21-15.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Jun 29 18:04:47 EDT 2004 i686 i68
> 6 i386 GNU/Linux

Looks OK.

OK, thanks.  I think that your entire problem was the setting of LIBS.

>Thank you!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
