[LDM #QFT-231267]: LDM Installation Errors

Shengting,

The options given to the configure(1) script

      $ ./configure --prefix=/home/ldm --exec-prefix=/home/ldm 
--oldincludedir=/home/ldm/include_old --datadir=/home/ldm/data 
--htmldir=/home/ldm/html --enable-logging=local0 --with-gnu-ld 
--localstatedir=/home/ldm/var --disable-max-size

caused it to incorrectly install the LDM package. In general, it's best not to 
use an option unless absolutely necessary.

I recommend starting from scratch by 1) deleting the installation; 2) deleting 
the source-code; 3) unpacking from the tarball; 4) executing the configure(1) 
script like this:

    ./configure

then proceeding with the rest of the install.
