John,
You just needed to execute the configure(1)-script without the option
"--enable-logging". That option is used to set the logging "facility" that will
be used by the LDM. For example
./configure --enable-logging=local3
would cause the installed LDM to use the "local3" logging facility.
By default, the LDM uses the "local0" facility, which, on your system, isn't
used by anything else -- so the default is fine.
I execute the configure(1)-script like this
./configure --disable-root-actions localstatedir=/var/ldm CC=gcc
>&configure.log
You'll still need to execute the command
make root-actions
in the top-level LDM source-directory as root in order to finish the
installation.
Good luck. Contact me if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Steve Emmerson
