Dear All, I have difficulties to workaround an issue with setting up pvm 3.4.4 on an AMD Opteron box with SuSe 9.1. Before going into any details - I was wondering whether anyone had a similar experience. Rpm installs both pvm and pvm-devel packages cleanly. PVM_ROOT, PVM_ARCH are set and the path is updated. Starting pvm gives me the following error message: libpvm [pid17150]: mxfer() mxinput bad return on pvmd sock libpvm [pid17150] mksocs() connect: No such file or directory libpvm [pid17150] socket address tried: /tmp/pvmtmp017159.0 libpvm [pid17150]: Console: Can't contact local daemon The computer is not connected to the network and I don't use any firewall or hosts.deny settings. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Robert ps.: using the same configuration files (except PVM_ARCH) the pvm 3.4.4 runs without a glitch on a Xeon box with Red Hat 9.0.
