[LDM #EGS-350940]: LDM 6.12.10 Installation Error

James,

The tarball needs to be unpacked differently. It's created by the GNU 
automake(1) tools and, consequently, doesn't have the "src/" directory that's 
needed to support different runtime versions.

Log onto the system in question as the LDM user and carefully follow the 
instructions at 
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-6.12.10/basics/source-install-steps.html>.
 Pay particular attention to the use of the pax(1) utility or, if you don't 
have that utility, the use of the more complicated command that uses gunzip(1), 
mkdir(1), and mv(1).

> We are having trouble install the latest version of LDM on our server. For 
> one I can't complete the install as the ldm user because the install requires 
> that the "etc" directory to be written outside the ldm users home directory, 
> Example below. On top of that when I do go ahead and install it as a root 
> user the installation doesn't create the proper symbolic links as I've read 
> in previous trouble tickets that it should. Example of the Home directory 
> output below. And a symbolic like is created to a folder that doesn't exist. 
> the "src" folder which there is no "src" folder in the "ldm-6.12.10" folder. 
> Trying to run "ldmadmin" simply returns "Couldn't reset LDM registry?"
