Hi Frank,

An RPM installation was created for an older version of the LDM, but
not for the latest version(s).  In general, it is better to use LDM
code built from source.

The config.log file seems to suggest that your ran 'configure' as follows:

./configure ...

The ellipsis on the command line is unwanted.  Try running 'configure' as
follows:

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm/ldm-6.12.6/src
rm configure.log config.log

./configure

If this runs with no errors, then run:

make install

NB: you will be prompted to give the password for 'root' or the
password for 'ldm' assuming that it has sudo privilege; this will
be done twice.

Please let us know the results of the above.

Cheers,

Tom
