[LDM #TIC-838672]: ldm-6.11.2 configure error under Solaris 10 x86

Tom,

> When attempting to run configure for LDM 6.11.2 on unidata2-new in
> the 'antldm' account, I get the following error:
>

That's a serious error message.

> 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?

The configure(1) output doesn't indicate the reason for the problem. The file 
"config.log" should. Search for "checking whether we are cross compiling".

> NB: the login for 'antldm' is the same as for 'ldm'
