The above message contained the following:

I assume that your version 5 LDM is in the directory /home/ldm/ldm-5...

Good.

The current LDM release is version 6.3.0.

Actually, the command would be "ldmadmin start -v".

If the first, LDM-related component in your PATH environment variable is

    /home/ldm/runtime/bin

then the command "ldmadmin" should get the correct ldmadmin(1) script.
Note, however, that if you're using a non-standard, csh(1)-like
user-shell, then you should probably execute the rehash(1) command
before executing ldmadmin(1).

One way to verify which ldmadin(1) you're getting is to execute the
command "ldmadmin config".  The output should depend on the LDM version.
