The 6.4.1 release. >How can I replace my old version(6.3.0) with this newer one? The upgrade procedure is simple: <as the user 'ldm'> 1) download the new distribution from the Unidata anonymous FTP site: cd ~ldm ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu <user> anonymous <pass> address@hidden cd pub/ldm binary get ldm-6.4.1.tar.Z quit 2) unpack the distribution zcat ldm-6.4.1.tar.Z | tar xvf - 3) configure the distribution for a build: cd ldm-6.4.1/src ./configure 4a) install the newly built code, the first step is done as 'ldm' make make install 4b) install the newly built code, the second step is done as 'root' <as 'root'> cd ~ldm/ldm-6.4.1/src make install_setuids 5) Back as 'ldm'. If you are upgrading from a version of the LDM prior to LDM-6.2, then you need to edit the LDM ldmadmin-pl.conf configuration script: -- edit ~ldm/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf and change things like the LDM queue size to match your existing distribution 6) as 'ldm', stop the LDM, change the runtime link, and then restart the LDM: cd ~ldm ldmadmin stop rm runtime ln -s ldm-6.4.1 runtime ldmadmin start Note that if you are upgrading from an old version of the LDM (pre-6.2 or 6.1), you might need to delete and remake the queue. If this is the case, the steps you might need to execute are: cd ~ldm ldmadmin stop rm runtime ln -s ldm-6.4.1 runtime ldmadmin delqueue ldmadmin mkqueue -f ldmadmin start That should do it for you! >Thank you.
