The instructions for running McIDAS-XCD from the LDM include copying 'xcd_run' from the McIDAS bin directory to a directory in the PATH of the user running the LDM (typically user 'ldm'), and then reviewing the contents of the copy of 'xcd_run' you just made and adjusting anything needed in it. Did you do this? re: > I would be grateful for any advise you can offer. Is either of the following possible: - you did copy 'xcd_run' to a directory in the PATH of the user 'ldm', but that directory is on an automounted filesystem that is dismounted after a certain amount of time? - you did not copy 'xcd_run to a directory in the PATH of the user 'ldm' choosing instead to run it from a McIDAS directory, and the McIDAS installation is on an automounted file system that gets dismounted after a certain amount of time?
