Hi Justin,

Let's see...

Which distribution do you have now?  Binary or source?  If it's binary, which 
one did you get from the ftp site?

It's important to ensure that the logging is working because that's your one of 
your best sources for information.  You say nothing shows up in the log.  You 
should at least see a line that says the the ldm started up.  Does that appear? 
 Are you sure that a log file exists?  If so, who is the owner and what are the 
permissions on the log file?  

Check that the line in /etc/syslog.conf that sends local0.debug to 
/usr/local/ldm/logs/ldmd.log is separated by tabs - some systems require that.  
If you change /etc/syslog.conf, you'll have to stop and restart the ldm to get 
the syslog daemon to reread the conf file.  

Ensure that the directory /usr/local/ldm/logs is owned, and therefore writable, 
by ldm. If that directory is a link to another directory, make sure that the 
final directory is also owned by ldm. 

Regarding problems with queue, were you user 'ldm' when you installed the ldm?  
Are the executables owned by ldm?  Who is the owner and what are the 
permissions on the queue?
How do you know that nothing shows up in the queue?  When you execute 'ldmadmin 
watch', what happens?  Try executing 'pqcat -v -l - > /dev/null'  This will 
give you information about what's in the queue.

Let's start with these possibilities.  Please investigate and let me know what 
happens.

Anne
