John, > I'm really beginning to think there's something odd with the way Redhat is > handling pax or vice versa. Sorry for the trouble, but here's what I got > when I did that. The command orphaned bin, include, lib, and share (in other > words, anything pointing to runtime). And the src still points to ldm-6.13.6. That's because you executed the command "rm -rf src/" rather than the command I indicated, "rm src", and "src" was a symbolic link to "ldm-6.13.6". I'm afraid you just wiped-out the LDM installation. When it comes to commands, cutting and pasting is your friend. I'm afraid you'll have to start over with my re-installation instructions. > ldm@tornado:~$ rm -rf src/ > ldm@tornado:~$ ls -alh > total 360K > drwx------. 18 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 28 18:20 . > drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root 4.0K Jun 22 16:06 .. > -rw-------. 1 ldm ldm 12K Jun 28 17:52 .bash_history > -rw-r--r--. 1 ldm ldm 18 Jan 26 14:19 .bash_logout > -rw-r--r--. 1 ldm ldm 316 Jun 25 21:55 .bash_profile > -rw-r--r--. 1 ldm ldm 231 Jan 26 14:19 .bashrc > lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 11 Jun 28 17:58 bin -> runtime/bin > drwxrwxr-x. 3 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 22 16:08 .cache > drwxrwxr-x. 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 28 18:20 cellphon > -rwxr-x---. 1 ldm ldm 362 Jun 26 17:24 cellphon_latest.sh > -rwxrwxr-x. 1 ldm ldm 169 Jun 26 17:51 cellphon.sh > drwxrwxr-x. 3 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 22 16:08 .config > drwxrwxr-x 2 ldm ldm 12K Jun 28 18:21 data > drwxrwxr-x. 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 26 17:30 decoders > -rwxrwxr-x. 1 ldm ldm 7.6K Jun 26 17:24 decoderscp > drwxrwxr-x. 3 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 28 18:20 etc > -rw-rw-r--. 1 ldm ldm 22 Jun 26 18:43 .forward > -rwxr-xr-x. 1 ldm ldm 55 Jun 26 17:24 get_SODAR > drwxrwxr-x. 4 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 26 17:29 GrADS > lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 15 Jun 28 17:58 include -> runtime/include > drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 28 18:24 ldm-6.13.6 > -rw-rw-r--. 1 ldm ldm 0 Jun 28 18:21 .ldmadmin.lck > lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 11 Jun 28 17:58 lib -> runtime/lib > drwxrwxr-x. 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 28 18:19 logs > -rwxr-xr-x. 1 ldm ldm 2.8K Jun 26 17:25 monitor_procs.pl > drwxr-xr-x. 4 ldm ldm 4.0K Feb 2 21:25 .mozilla > -rwxrwxr--. 1 ldm ldm 13K Jun 26 17:25 NldnToAscii > drwxrwxr-x. 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 26 16:00 push_scripts > -rwxr-xr-x. 1 ldm ldm 6.8K Jun 26 17:26 pushTTUmtr_ldm.pl > -rwxr-xr-x. 1 ldm ldm 6.7K Jun 26 17:26 pushTTUsnd_ldm.pl > lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ldm ldm 11 Jun 26 15:31 runtime -> ldm-6.13.6/ > drwxrwxr-x. 3 ldm ldm 20K Jun 26 17:21 scripts > lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm ldm 13 Jun 28 17:58 share -> runtime/share > drwxrwxr-x. 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 26 17:21 sodar > -rw-r--r--. 1 ldm ldm 155K Jun 26 17:26 sodar_ldm > drwxrwxr-x. 4 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 26 17:28 SOURCES > lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ldm ldm 11 Jun 26 15:32 src -> ldm-6.13.6/ > -rwxr-xr-x. 1 ldm ldm 75 Jun 26 17:26 store_MADIS.sh > -rw-rw-r--. 1 ldm ldm 11 Jun 26 17:27 techdata_permissions.txt > -rw-rw-r--. 1 ldm ldm 7.0K Jun 26 17:27 TX.TTUmeso200401.mtr > drwxrwxr-x 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 28 17:53 util > drwxrwxr-x 2 ldm ldm 4.0K Jun 28 17:58 var > -rw------- 1 ldm ldm 5.5K Jun 27 21:38 .viminfo Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: VPO-816759 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
