Look in the (f)pvm3.h include file for the parameterization
of error code:

   #define PvmNoFile               -7      /* No such file */

Ok, still not the most informative comment. The file it is refering
to is your executable. PVM will look under $(HOME)/pvm3/bin/$(ARCH)
unless
you tell it otherwise:

- put full path to executable in pvm_spawn call

or 

- use the 'ep' option in your hostfile.

or

- create pvm3/bin/$(ARCH) in your local area.
