Indeed.

What's the output of the command "ldm-6.4.0/bin/ldmadmin config"?  How
does it compare to "ldm-6.3.0/bin/ldmadmin config"

The configure(1) script will set the current working directory of the 
LDM system to

    1.  The contents of the LDMHOME environment variable, if set; or

    2.  The home directory of the LDM user;

Was the environment variable LDMHOME defined as "/home/ldm/ldm-6.4.0"
when the configure(1) script was executed?
