Hi Shaji,
The lastest las version for public download is 6.5.1.2. The version
6.5.2.1 has not been officially released. I downloaded a version
6.5.1.2 today and installed and configured it in my machine.
Everything went well, and I was NOT even asked to choose the
installation type [1 or 2]. You may need to read prerequisites
and installation
guide in LAS documentation pages.

Dear Xiaoping,
Hi Shaji,
I was reading your previous emails, and you mentioned that your las
version is 6.5.1.2. The latest las version is 6.5.2.1, so I am
wondering that you were actually talking about 6.5.2.1. If your las
version is really 6.5.1.2, I suggest you to use the newest version
6.5.2.1.
When I install LAS 6.5.2.1, I got similar problem if I choose 1 instead
of 2. But if I choose option "2", everything works fine, and I have
used the same method to upgrade all my LAS server to 6.5.2.1. So I
suggest you to re-install your las using the latest version, and then
configure it with 2 as the installation type.
If you still have problems associated with Perl, I suggest you to
contact Jon, who is the Perl expert in our group.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Now, let me go into some more details.
1) The first thing is even I am not so sure whether I am using LAS Version
6.5.1.2 or 6.5.1.1. Please see what I did to get the LAS tarred bundle.
I went to the following URL.
The URL is http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/LAS/Downloads/
Then, I downloaded the latest version as shown below. I was not able to
get the files through CVS because it was impermissible for me.
download the latest stable version = 6.5.1.2
[cshaji@maud newlas]$ ls -alp las_6_5_1_2.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 cshaji cshaji 50690827 Feb 14 09:54 las_6_5_1_2.tar.gz
Please clarify me what I got is LAS 6.5.1.2 or 6.5.1.1. How can I know
which version of LAS I am using?
I could see that the top line if README file only gives,
LAS (Live Access Server)
Am I using a wrong version or correct version? Please clear me this.
2) Even though I was not sure which version of LAS I am using, I just
followed the configuration steps. Initially it complained (as I mentioned
in my previous emails) about two Perl modules - Carp-Clan-5.3 and
Time-HiRes-1.66. I have fixed these two. Then the installation was asking
it requires Ferret Version atleast Version 5.81. I upgraded Ferret to this
5.81 version.
3) After the above, I again started the configuration. Now it is
complaining about some las_servlet/las.war. Please see below what I am
getting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please someone give me some better suggestions as I am facing this problem
for the last several days. I specifically would like to know if I am
following the correct latest version of LAS. Which is the latest stable
version (6.5.1.1 or 6.5.1.2)?
If I am using the correct version, how can I fix the above error which I
am getting now.
I would highly appreciate someone help me on this.
Thanks in advance,
C. Shaji.
