jobname.ldx is an _input_ file for MakeIndex.  You should run
MakeIndex on it to get a file which TeX will read in to typeset the
index.  By default MakeIndex writes its outputs to a file with the
.ind extension, so you'd need to say \readindexfile{i}.  But you can
make MakeIndex write to a .lnd file:

  $ makeindex file.ldx -o file.lnd

and then \readindexfile{l} will work.

HTH,
