Hi Steve,

A patch came out for that, so the latest version of LDM should work as is 
when compiling it. I am running 7.2. Also note that Gnu C had some VERY 
serious bugs with it, released under 7.1 and 7.2. The Redhat errata page 
shows the lengthy list of big time errors. Go to:

http://www.redhat.com/errata/

And grab the patch. That should make gcc work better, obviously!
