Mark,

the first place to look is the ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log file, the pqact will
send it errors to it. one can track the error by looking at the PID of the
pqact etc/pqact.netcdf process.

also check the pqact.netcdf that there are tabs not spaces between entry
parts because spaces could be part of pattern action. ie.

DDS|IDS<tab here>^S(A....|P....|XUS8.) .... ([0-3][0-9])
<tab here>PIPE<tab here>decoders/metar2nc.new1
<tab here>etc/metar.cdl.new1
<tab here>data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metar

make sure all the decoder table files and cdl files are in the ~ldm/etc
directory.  they are located in the ~/etc directory in the build location.

from the ldm home directory, run the decoder from command line, ie

% decoders/metar2nc.new1 etc/metar.cdl.new1
data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metar < <raw data file>

above is on one line
