Hi Yoori,
re:

Your screenshot indicates that 'root' is the owner of the LDM distribution file,
ldm-6.4.6.tar.Z. Evidently you downloaded the distribution as 'root', not
'ldm'.
> And yes, I have privilege as root.
Please do the following:
as 'root' change the ownership of the home directory of the user 'ldm' to 'ldm':
<as 'root'>
cd ~ldm <- that the character before 'ldm' is a tilda,
not dash
pwd <- verify that you are in the HOME directory
of 'ldm'
chmod 664 ldm-6.4.6.tar.Z <- change the read/write permissions on the
LDM distribution
chown ldm:ldm . ldm-6.4.6.tar.Z <- change the ownership of the HOME directory
of 'ldm' and
of the LDM distribution
After doing this, become the user 'ldm':
su - ldm <- the character sorrounded by spaces is a dash
pwd <- again, verify that you are in the HOME
directory of 'ldm'
At this point, you should be able to unpack the distribution and build the LDM:
tar xvzf ldm-6.4.6.tar.Z
cd ldm-6.4.6/src
./configure
make
make install
sudo make install_setuids <- assumes you have sudo installed. If you do
not then
run the following instead:
su <- you will need to supply 'root's password
make install_setuids
exit
If 'configure', 'make', 'make install', and 'sudo make install_setuids'
completed without
error, you can continue with your installation as follows:
cd <- you should be the user 'ldm'; if you are
this will take
you to the HOME directory of the user 'ldm'
ln -s ldm-6.4.6 runtime
ln -s runtime/* .
At this point the LDM should be built and installed. You next need to identify
where
to put data that the LDM will receive. This is done in the ~ldm/data directory
(again a
tilda, not a dash), but this may be a link to a directory on a file system that
has lots
of space. If the partition you installed the LDM on is where you want to save
data, then
create the data and logs subdirectories:
cd
mkdir data
mkdir data/logs
ln -s data/logs logs
From here you will need to decide what data you want to receive and how much of
it
you want to keep on disk. The best thing to do is continue with the LDM
installation
and configuration documentation on our LDM webpages.
> Thank you.
No worries.
Cheers,
Tom
