Russ,

Yeah. The "ensureLdmhomeLinks" script in version 6.11.7 isn't as robust as the 
latest version. It's not handling the fact that you had an existing, cloned 
installation.

Sorry about that.

Try these commands as the LDM user. Stop at the first failed command and fix it 
or send me an email.

    cd
    rm bin include lib runtime share src   # these should all be symbolic 
links. "rm -rf <dir>" any that aren't
    cd ldm-6.11.7/src
    make install >install.log 2>&1         # send me the file "install.log" if 
this step fails
    sudo make root-actions                 # alternatively, use the command "su 
-c 'make root-actions'"

You're real close.
