I have had great success installing and utilizing LDM on HP-UX boxes 
since about 1995.  Recently, I installed LDM 5.1.2 on a Pentium III box 
running Redhat 7.  The installation went smoothly and all pertinent 
processes fired up as usual.  I am feeding the box with an AWIPS 
asynchronous feed to Com Port 1 (ttyS0) and have verified that products 
are arriving at the Com Port.  However, LDM, or I guess more 
specifically, pqing, is not recognizing any valid products, thus 
nothing ever shows up in the queue.  Also puzzling, is that I am able 
to insert a product into the queue via pqinsert, but upon completion of 
that, pqact does nothing with the product, and it just sits in the 
queue.  I have this exact configuration (only LDM 5.0.5) successfully 
running on an HP-UX 10.2 machine.  I have verified with others in the 
NWS (and as I am sure many of you can attest) that LDM 5.1.2 will 
definitely work with RedHat 7, but I sure am having a problem.

I have searched every LDM/Linux WWW page I can find and have posted 
this problem internally to the NWS without any success.  ldmd.log shows 
no errors. I tried both binary and source installs and noted no 
differences.  I even tried two or three earlier versions of LDM, also 
with no success.  If anyone could offer any suggestions on how to 
troubleshoot this problem further, I would be very much appreciative.  
The machine is basically clean, and I have the option of rebuilding the 
kernel if needed.  I am just about out of ideas.  Thanks in advance for 
any help.
