You appear to be using the GEMPAK decoders. The pqact(1) configuration-files 
that come with the GEMPAK decoders assume that the current working directory of 
the pqact(1) processes has a "decoders/" subdirectory. This assumption is not 
necessarily true. The pqact(1) program sets its current working directory to 
the value of the "/pqact/datadir-path" parameter of the LDM registry (you can 
check this value with the command "regutil /pqact/datadir-path"). If the LDM 
user's home directory has a "decoders" subdirectory, then you could set this 
parameter to the home directory with the command "regutil -s $HOME 
/pqact/datadir-path" to get things working. Alternatively, you could remove the 
"decoders/" prefix in all the GEMPAK pqact(1) configuration-files and ensure 
that the directory that contains the GEMPAK decoders is in the PATH environment 
variable. In either case, you will have to restart your LDM.
