Hi Steve, When attempting to run configure for LDM 6.11.2 on unidata2-new in the 'antldm' account, I get the following error: /opt/antldm/ldm-6.11.2/src% ./configure --enable-logging=local3 --enable-port=389 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /opt/csw/bin/ginstall -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /opt/csw/bin/gmkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/opt/antldm/ldm-6.11.2/src': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details Since I thought that this was some sort of a problem with the build environment (C compiler, etc.), I let Mike know about it last Friday. This morning I decided to see if the same problem would present itself when building LDM 6.9.7 in the same account on the same machine (reason? LDM-6.9.7 was already unpacked and ready to test). Interestingly, the problem did not occur for the same 'configure' invocation in LDM 6.9.7 as it did in LDM 6.11.2. Do you have any idea about what could be causing the problem? NB: the login for 'antldm' is the same as for 'ldm' Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
