I am a PVM novice trying to install PVM3.3.11 on my Pentium Pro PC running
Redhat 4.1 Linux.
Following the instrutions from the distribution, I did
cd 
tar xvzf pvm3.3.11.tar.gz
cd pvm3
setenv PVM_ROOT $cwd
make

First of all, it complained the system is UNKNOWN. On changing
the one line in pvm3/lib/pvmgetarch from
        Linux,i[345]86 )        ARCH=LINUX ;;
to
        Linux,i[3456]86 )        ARCH=LINUX ;;
so that it will recognize the intel 686 arch, it starts to compile. But
then it balks giving:

c3po[15] make
building in src
cd src; ../lib/aimk install
making in LINUX/ for LINUX

Any help is appreciated.
