Franke,

This non-standard installation could be the cause of your problem. We'll need 
to eliminate it as a possibility.

Would you please stop your LDM, remove the entire installation, and re-install 
it from scratch using the instructions at 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/source-install-steps.html>.
 Basically, this would comprise the following steps -- executed by the LDM user:

    cd
    ldmadmin stop
    rm -rf bin include lib logs runtime share src  # NB: not "etc"
    wget ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/ldm/ldm-6.13.1.tar.gz
    gunzip -c ldm-6.13.1.tar.gz | pax -r '-s:/:/src/:'
    rm ldm-6.13.1.tar.gz # optional
    cd ldm-6.13.1/src
    export PATH=... # if necessary
    ./configure >configure.log 2>&1
    Password: ...
    make install >make.log 2>&1
    make clean # optional

Adjust the above as necessary for your environment (e.g., different shell) but 
*don't* change the directory names.
