It looks like the "pqcreate" utility wasn't built with debugging support. May I log onto the system as the LDM user? It would make things go much faster. Alternatively, please execute the following commands as the LDM user (assuming that your user-shell is "csh"): cd $HOME/ldm-6.6.5/src make distclean ./configure CFLAGS=-g >&! configure.log && make >&! make.log && make install >&! install.log && cd $HOME/ldm-6.6.5 && ldmadmin delqueue && rm -rf core.* && bin/pqcreate -vxl- -s 800M If you get to the last simple command and it fails, the execute the command gdb bin/pqcreate core.* Enter the "gdb" command "where" and send me the output.
