My best bet is that the directory(ies) in which xcd_run and
pnga2area exist are not in the PATH of the user running
your LDM.  The recommended setup is:

- copy the ldm-mcidas decoders you are going to use to the ~ldm/decoders
  directory

- copy routines needed to run McIDAS-XCD decoding (e.g., xcd_run, mcscour.sh)
  to the ~ldm/util directory

Don't forget to edit 'xcd_run', 'mcscour.sh', and 'batch.k' (one of the
scripts that comes along with the ldm-mcidas decoders) to set needed
McIDAS environment variables.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
