Hi Sen, re: rebuild and re-install the LDM on charney > ok. was trying to. Very good. re: > what is the error message for ? when I do configure, it ran and stopped at > > configure: error: Header-file not found We need to see more of the configure output to be able to say which header file was not found. The easiest way for us is if you do the following (the syntax used for redirecting output assumes use of BASH as the user shell): <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm/ldm-6.13.5/src make distclean ./configure >configure.log 2>&1 and then send us the configure.log file. Comments: - it is most likely that some development package needed by the LDM was not installed when the OS was upgraded on charney The packages most likely to be missing are: libxml2-devel zlib-devel libpng-devel If the OS on charney is a RedHat distribution or variant, 'root' needs to install missing packages using 'yum'. For instance: <as 'root'> yum install libxml2-devel zlib-devel libpng-devel - this is likely an opportune time to upgrade from LDM-6.13.5 to LDM-6.13-6 Here is how: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm/ldm-6.13.5/src make distclean cd ~ldm wget ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/ldm/ldm-6.13.6.tar.gz gunzip -c ldm-6.13.6.tar.gz | pax -r '-s:/:/src/:' cd ldm-6.13.6/src ./configure >configure.log 2>&1 make >makelog 2>&1 make install >install.log 2>&1 NB: running 'make' assumes that the configure step is successful, and running 'make install' assumes that the configure and make steps are successful.
