Steve,
 
There is a bug in ldm-6.9.3/src/Makefile.in where the build fails if the
process reaches the 'else block' seen in my diff below.
 
The build was done on a Centos 5.5 x86_64.
 
The "awk" syntax fails because of a missing forward slash in your search
string of 'mail.none'.

So it should be:  awk '/mail\.none/{\ instead of awk 'mail\.none/{\
 
Thanks.
