[ldmMcidas #KHY-214172]: ldm help help pnga2area / MCIDAS ?

Hi Steven,

OK, this works for me.

re:

No cell phone, so no texts.  I do have an iPod Touch, however, so you can
iMessage me: address@hidden.  Otherwise, you can call me at
303.497.8642

Quick comment:

- the pipe_put(): write error message seems to say that 'pnga2area'
  is not being found, so 'pqact' is unable to pipe the product
  to it

  Can you/Mike verify that 'pnga2area' can be found?  You can
  test this by substituting 'pnga2area' in the LDM pattern-action
  file with its fully qualified name (e.g., /home/ldm/decoders/pnga2area
  if 'pnga2area' was copied to the /home/ldm/decoders directory.

  Given the specific reference to /home/ldm/ldm-mcidas/ldm-mcidas-2008/etc
  for both SATANNOT and SATBAND, I would suspect one of three things:

  - the 'pnga2area' executable was not copied to /home/ldm/decoders or
    /home/ldm/util (both of these directories are in the PATH Mike
    included below)

  - 'pnga2area' was copied to either /home/ldm/decoders or /home/ldm/util,
    but you are using the C Shell (or TC Shell), and 'rehash' was not
    run after the copy

  - OR 'pnga2area' was copied to either /home/ldm/decoders or /home/ldm/util
    after the LDM was already running.  In this case 'pnga2area' would not
    be found

You can easily test the above by doing the following:

<login as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin stop
rehash
which pnga2area

Is 'pnga2area' found?  If yes, run the following:

ldd /home/ldm/decoders/pnga2area

Does 'ldd' indicate that all needed shared libraries found?

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

I included some additional comments below...

This looks OK.

re:

This should mean that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with 'pnga2area'.
