[LDM #YVG-914431]: Build Problems for LDM 6.11.2 on Ubuntu Server 12.04

Jay,

The error messages indicate that the utility "src/regutil/.libs/lt-regutil" 
wasn't able to find the XML library, which is odd because that library is part 
of the LDM package and should have been already built and installed at this 
point.

What is the output of the following command:

    cd /usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.11.2/src/regutil/.libs && ldd lt-regutil
