Right - I forgot that we didn't make binaries for 5.1.3.  The 5.1.2
binary is just fine.  Might as well stick with that.

Yes.  It's most important to get the logging working first, as that's
where you'll get messages regarding other problems.

Did you follow the preinstallation instructions at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmPreInstallList.html?  In
particular, the section on "Configuring the Operating System as root"
gives the changes you must make to /etc/syslog.conf.  The other
essential piece for logging is that $LDMHOME/bin/hupsyslog is setuid
root, as per the instructions at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmBinaryInstallList.html under
"Make rpc.ldmd and hupsyslog suid root".

This sounds fine.

What are the permissions on pqcreate?
