This can be avoided if, instead of using tar -xzf ldm-6.12.12.tar.gz, you 
gunzip it and pipe it through pax, as in the 'ldm build from source' 
instructions on the Unidata web site:

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/source-install-steps.html

Specifically, 
gunzip -c ldm-6.12.14.tar.gz | pax -r '-s:/:/src/:'

For what it's worth...
Pete

Hi Steve,

I believe this happens when you extract LDM and then not move it 'down'
another directory to src/.  For example:

mkdir /tmp/ldm
cd /tmp/ldm
tar -xzf ldm-6.12.14.tar.gz
cd ldm-6.12.14
./configure
grep ^LDMHOME Makefile
LDMHOME = /tmp
