Jeff, I logged on the the system, found the problem, fixed it, and installed LDM 6.9.6. You'll still need to switch to it. The problem is that the getconf(1) utility on the system is broken, so that the configure script determines that an LDM system with support for large files can't be built: $ getconf _XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG 1 $ getconf -v XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG_CFLAGS getconf: unknown specification "XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG" According to the standard, the successful execution of the first command should mean the successful execution of the second. Oh well. I'll see about making that section of the configure(1) script more tolerant.
