Hi Marty, I was too quick on the gun in sending you the previous emails -- you were already aware of the need to login to a gateway machine first, etc. Sorry for jumping the gun! The first thing I found is that the environment variable LDMHOME is _not_ defined in your ~ldm/.bash_profile file. This environment variable not being defined will make your LDM do some strange and unexpected things ... just like what you reported to Steve in a separate email today. I defined LDM home in ~ldm/.bash_profile and cleaned up the setting of PATH a bit (nothing serious with PATH; I'm just anal :-). I then wiped out your LDM 6.10.1 build by: <as 'ldm'> -- modify ~ldm/.bash_profile -- logoff and back on as 'ldm' so that new settings in ~ldm/.bash_profile are in scope cd ~ldm/ldm-6.10.1/src make distclean At this point (since I don't have 'root' login to your machine and since 'ldm' is not in the sudoers list), I want you to build the LDM from scratch: -- if you are logged in as 'ldm', logout and then log back in ldmadmin stop -- verify that LDMHOME is defined: env | grep LDMHOME -- rebuild LDM 6.10.1 from scratch: cd ~ldm/ldm-6.10.1/src ./configure && make install After the LDM has been rebuilt (with LDMHOME defined), we will need to do some clean-up of directories/links. Please let me know when the rebuild is finished. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
