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...

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
