Kassim,
> thanks for that last suggestion, steve, but still no joy (attached)
The file "make.log" contained the following:
Making `all' in directory /orabackup/temp/ldm/ldm-6.6.5/src/protocol
(echo '#include "ldmconfig.h"'; rpcgen -c ldm.x) | sed -e
's/xdr_opaque *( *xdrs, *objp, *16)/xdr_opaque(xdrs, (char*)objp, 16)/' -e
'/#if defined(_LP64)/,/#endif/d' > ldm_xdr.c
/bin/sh: rpcgen: not found.
It appears that you don't have the rpcgen(1) utility.
I've created a beta release that doesn't require that utility in order
to install the package. The URL is
<ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/ldm/beta/ldm-6.7.0.4.tar.gz>.
Please download it and try to install it like you just did with the
older distribution.
