[LDM #QXD-562099]: LDM 6.9.7 for RHEL6

Greg,

> I'm trying to install ldm 6.9.7 on a new RHEL6 machine we just recently 
> acquired. I downloaded the latest distribution and ran the configure script. 
> I'm attaching the configure.log file to this message. The configure script 
> does not seem to recognize my particular machine configuration and fails. Is 
> RHEL6 not yet supported for LDM? When I run uname -a on my machine, here's 
> what I see:
> 
> 40 t2:/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.9.7/src-> uname -a
> Linux t2 2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 2 17:49:59 EST 2011 x86_64 
> x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
> 
> I would appreciate your advice on how to proceed.

The file "configure.log" contained the following:

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target

I've seen this warning message before: it was due to the configure(1) script 
being invoked as "./configure ..." (i.e., with three periods as an argument). 
Was this the case with you? If so, then you should know that the ellipsis (the 
three dots) is a standard convention for indicating optional arguments and is 
not an actual argument, itself.
