A compiler is necessary in order to build the LDM system because we supply only 
a source-code distribution due to the many different versions of UNIX.

The LDM system could be built, however, on one computer and then the binary 
installation could be copied to an identical computer that lacked a development 
environment.  This has been done by many times by many groups (e.g., the 
National Weather Service does this for its LDM network that transmits NEXRAD 
Level II radar data).  The important thing is that the computers be identical 
in terms of hardware and operating-system and that the location of the LDM 
user's home-directory remain the same.

> Thank you.

You're welcome.  Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
