Hi Carol, re: > Ok cool! > > This is what is currently in .bash_profile > > PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin/:/bin:/sbin:/home/ldm/bin > > What should this be changed to? This is correct. Closer examination of the listing of ~ldm shows that your previous version of the LDM was installed incorrectly. I say this because (and Steve noticed this also) ~ldm/bin and other things are actual directories, now runtime links: > -bash-4.1$ ls -alt > total 10496 ... > drwxr-xr-x. 2 ldm users 4096 Jul 18 16:13 etc/ > lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ldm sysgroup 10 Jul 18 16:10 runtime -> ldm-6.13.2/ > drwxr-xr-x. 7 ldm sysgroup 4096 Jul 15 20:15 ldm-6.13.2/ > -rw-r--r--. 1 ldm sysgroup 6166311 Jul 15 17:48 ldm-6.13.2.tar.gz > drwxr-xr-x. 22 root root 4096 Jun 17 16:01 ../ > drwxr-xr-x. 2 ldm users 4096 Jun 16 16:54 util/ > drwx------. 2 ldm users 4096 Aug 5 2015 .ssh/ > -rw-r--r--. 1 ldm users 82 Jun 26 2015 .bash_profile > drwxr-xr-x. 5 ldm users 4096 Jun 26 2015 var/ > drwxr-xr-x. 3 ldm users 4096 Jun 26 2015 include/ > drwxr-xr-x. 2 ldm users 4096 Jun 26 2015 bin/ > drwxr-xr-x. 4 ldm users 4096 Jun 26 2015 share/ > drwxr-xr-x. 2 ldm users 4096 Jun 26 2015 lib/ > drwxr-xr-x. 45 ldm users 4096 Jun 26 2015 src/ > -rw-r--r--. 1 ldm users 4502783 Jun 26 2015 ldm-6.11.7.tar.gz In a correct installation, the relevant portion of the listing would look like: drwxrwxr-x 5 ldm ldm 4096 Dec 12 2015 var lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 11 Dec 12 2015 runtime -> ldm-6.13.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 15 Dec 12 2015 include -> runtime/include lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 11 Dec 12 2015 lib -> runtime/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 13 Dec 12 2015 share -> runtime/share lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 11 Dec 12 2015 bin -> runtime/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 11 Dec 12 2015 src -> runtime/src Here is what you need to do to clean things up: <become 'ldm'> sudo su - ldm <- NOTE 'su - ldm' cd ~ldm ldmadmin stop mkdir ldm-6.11.7 mv src bin share lib include ldm-6.11.7 cd ldm-6.13.2/src make install cd ~ldm ls -alt You will know that the runtime setup is correct when a long list from the ~ldm directory shows that src, bin, share, lib and include are links through runtime like the example I included above. If needed (and this shouldn't be needed), and after moving the LDM-6.11.7 bin, share, etc. directories to ~ldm/ldm-6.11.7, you could setup the runtime links by hand: cd ~ldm ln -s ldm-6.13.2 runtime ln -s runtime/* . After getting the setup correct, make sure to start the LDM and then rerun 'ldmadmin config' to make sure that things are now OK.
