OK. Then try this
1) Get the latest LDM 6.9.0.6. It has a corrected ldmadmin(1) script.
2) Unpack and install normally: don't use the "--localstatedir" option.
3) Replace what should be the symbolic link ~/var/queues with one that points
to /dev/shm (i.e., "rm ~/var/queues && ln -s /dev/shm ~/var/queues).
4) Ensure that the product-queue and surf-queue pathnames are correct:
ldm-6.9.0.6/bin/regutil -s /dev/shm/ldm.pq /queue/path
ldm-6.9.0.6/bin/regutil -s /dev/shm/pqsurf.pq /surf-queue/path
