[LDM #MAC-518090]: ldm on aix5.3?

["Unidata LDM Support" <support-ldm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't have access to an AIX 5.3 system and I don't know of anyone who
uses that system (we don't track that information) so I can't definitively
say that the LDM will build and work on it.

I would be surprised if it didn't, however.  The problem mentioned in 
the support archive was easily fixed by adding "-qlonglong" to the CFLAGS
environment variable before executing the "configure" script.  Also, I
use gcc 4.1.2 on my Linux/x86-64 system.
