>From: Karthik Samudram Jayaraman <address@hidden> >Organization: Western Michigan >Keywords: 200310251920.h9PJKRgf026027 McIDAS LDM install Hi Karthik, >Wow Mr Tom, >Couple of weeks back Dr Cutrim told me that you spoke to Mr pierce >over phone and i was told that you would get in touch with Dr cutrim >and she would then get in touch with me. I did get to speak to Leonard Peirce for a short period right before he left to go on vacation, and I did talk with Elen before she headed for Egypt. The setup at Western Michigan is enough different from a standard installation of both LDM and McIDAS that I felt it was better for me to plunge ahead and try and get things working Any problems I would run into I would then report back to Leonard to try to get some resolution. What I left running on s400 seems to work, but it feels fragile to me especially since it relies on soft links between the /cutrim1/mcidas/... directories and corresponding ones in /cutrim1/mcidas. This is the main reason I suggested that we might want to consider rebuilding McIDAS in its HOME directory. Leonard pointed out to me that this is not possible for the LDM since it has two routines that run as setuid root, and those can not live on NFS mounted file systems. >It is nice to hear that you have set up the whole thing for us. No worries. >Thanks once again. Wish you a Merry christmas ( belated ) and a happy >new year. The same to you. Cheers, Tom
