>From: Unidata Support <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200307281953.h6SJrKLd007297 Hi Tom, I logged onto cacimbo and found out why dmsyn.k was still using up all of the CPU. Even though the v2002b version of dmsyn.k was built in ~mcidas/mcidas2002/src on July 15, it, and the rest of the XCD part of the distribution, was never installed: [mcidas@cacimbo src]$ ls -alt dmsyn.k ~/bin/dmsyn.k -rwxrwxr-x 1 mcidas apps 304140 Jul 15 13:28 dmsyn.k -rwxr-x--- 1 mcidas apps 313500 Jan 8 2002 /home/mcidas/bin/dmsyn.k This was most likely caused by doing a 'make install' instead of a 'make install.all' after the v2002b build was finished. No biggie... I stopped the LDM and installed the v2002b XCD routines with: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm ldmadmin stop <as 'mcidas'> cd ~mcidas/mcidas2002/src make install.xcdbin install.xcddata <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm ldmadmin start Please let me know if you see any of the XCD processes (e.g., dmsyn.k, dmsfc.k, dmgrid.k, dmmisc.k) soaking up CPU (they shouldn't now that the bugfix is in place). While I was on cacimbo, I took the liberty of FTPing the latest LDM release, LDM-6.0.14, from the UPC and building it: ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu <user> anonymous <pass> yoksas@cacimbo cd pub/ldm get ldm-6.0.14.tar.Z quit tar xvzf ldm-6.0.14.tar.Z rm ldm-6.0.14.tar.Z cd ldm-6.0.14/src ./configure && make && make install Since 'ldm' does not have 'sudo' privilege on cacimbo, the installation is not finished. When you have time, could you do the following: <as 'root'> cd ~ldm/ldm-6.0.14/src make install_setuids <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm ldmadmin stop && rm runtime && ln -s ldm-6.0.14 runtime && ldmadmin start Thanks in advance... Tom >From address@hidden Mon Jul 28 18:35:41 2003 Thanks, Tom, Ldm was next on the list. Thought I did a make install.all with McIDAS, but evidence is to the contrary. I did the setuids and restarted ldm, so we're good to go. Thanks for building it. Tom
