I'm trying to install PVM 3.4 on Linux, and XPVM. Everything seemed to be okay, I unziped the packages, compiled everything (after I had made the appropriate changes in the makefiles as recommended in Readme files), and it compiles without any problem. I've positionned environment variables such as PVM_ARCH, PVM_ROOT, PVM_DROOT, + TCL, TK variables etc. When I run xpvm it says : /tmp/pvmd.500: no such file or directory libpvmd: can't start PVM: can't start pvmd So, I tried to lauch pvmd, but it says: mksocs() socket netsock: Invalid argument pvmbailout(0) Can't someone help me out ? I don't know what's wrong with it. I've recompiled my Linux kernel without any network support (as it's my personal stand alone machine), could that be a problem for mksocs ? Is there some daemon I must launch before I call xpvm ? Thanks for any help...
