[LDM #YLA-231641]: ldm installation

Frank,

Yes.

The log files indicate that your installation failed. I'm afraid you'll have to 
start over.

Would you please execute the following commands as the LDM user:

cd
rm -rf bin etc include lib logs man runtime share src var        # assumes that 
you're not upgrading an existing, working installation
wget wget ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/ldm/ldm-6.12.6.tar.gz
gunzip -c ldm-6.12.6.tar.gz | pax -r '-s:/:/src/:'
cd ldm-6.12.6/src
./configure >configure.log 2>&1 && echo Configured               # assumes 
you're using a standard-conforming shell (e.g., bash(1))
                                                                 # answer the 
prompt for the root password or the LDM user's password
make install >install.log 2>&1 && echo Installed                 # answer the 
prompt for the root password or the LDM user's password

If an error occurs then send me the details. If "Configured" or "Installed" 
isn't printed, then send me the associated log file.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
