Hi Dave,

I just got a chance to login to the new climate (Ubuntu) machine.
The first thing I decided to tackle was the building of ldm-mcidas-2012:

I created the file ldm-mcidas_Ubuntu_12.04.2_x86_64.cshrc in the
/home/ldm/ldm-mcidas/ldm-mcidas-2012/src directory and populated
it with the environment variable settings needed to build v2012:

# For ldm-mcidas builds
setenv CC         cc
setenv FC         gfortran
setenv CPP_MCIDAS '-I/home/mcidas/mcidas2009/src'
setenv LD_MCIDAS  '-L/home/mcidas/lib -lmcidas'
setenv CPP_NETCDF '-I/home/mcidas/mcidas2009/netcdf/libsrc'
setenv LD_NETCDF  '-L/home/mcidas/lib -lnetcdf'
setenv LD_MATH    '-lm'
setenv CPP_LDM    '-I/home/ldm/include'
#setenv LD_LDM     '/home/ldm/lib/libldm.a /home/ldm/lib/libxml2.a'
setenv LDFLAGS    '-Wl,-rpath,/home/ldm/lib'
setenv LD_LDM     '-L/home/ldm/lib -lldm -lxml2'
setenv LD_FORTRAN '-static -lf2c'
setenv LD_X11     ''
setenv FTPDIR     $HOME/ldm-mcidas/ftp
setenv FTPBINDIR  $HOME/ldm-mcidas/ftpbin

I then build ldm-mcidas-2012 as follows:

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm/ldm-mcidas/ldm-mcidas-2012/src
source ldm-mcidas_Ubuntu_12.04.2_x86_64.cshrc
./configure && make && make install

This created v2012 decoders and installed them in the
~ldm/ldm-mcidas/ldm-mcidas-2012/bin directory:

total 1488
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ldm ldm   7762 Apr 15 02:55 batch.k
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ldm ldm  33978 Apr 15 02:55 lgt2md
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ldm ldm 705532 Apr 15 02:55 proftomd
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ldm ldm 226453 Apr 15 02:55 pngg2gini
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ldm ldm  63744 Apr 15 02:55 zlibg2gini
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ldm ldm 226551 Apr 15 02:55 pnga2area
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ldm ldm 226130 Apr 15 02:55 area2png
drwxrwxr-x 7 ldm ldm   4096 Apr 15 02:52 ..
drwxrwsr-x 2 ldm ldm   4096 Apr 15 02:52 .
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ldm ldm   4529 Apr 15 02:52 uwgrid.sh

I saved the versions of ldm-mcidas I found in the ~ldm/decoders
directory to the ~ldm/decoders/backup directory and then copied
the v2012 decoders into the ~ldm/decoders directory.

After reviewing the ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf_mcidas[AB] pattern-action
files, I modified ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf_mcidasB by changing the
invocation of 'nldn2md' to 'lgt2md' in the LIGHTNING (renamed
from NLDN) action.  I then restarted the LDM in the normal way:

ldmadmin restart

I see that the DMGRID and DMBIN decoders are exiting quickly.  I
will look into this tomorrow.

Cheers,

Tom
