Kevin, The problem is that AWIPS thinks it's the only user on whatever system it runs. Our AWIPS expert had this to say: "the problem may be that the /etc/profile.d/ files (awips2.sh and awips2.csh) were sourced (by a non-root account) and the ldmadmin problem is a result of a python mismatch. My suggestion is to copy the attached file to overwrite the existing /etc/profile.d/awips2.sh, the log out/log in as user ldm again and see if ldmadmin runs as expected." > Im having trouble running my ldm system after installing awips cave > client.
