I've been running 3.4-beta6, sorry, I don't honestly remember
if it compiled out-of-the-box or I had to hack it.

A good place to start is by removing '#include <linux/whatever>'
and replacing them with '#include <sys/whatever>'...

Otherwise, check NASA's beowulf site (http://www.beowulf.org).
They've got glibc-rpm's of PVM+examples, and a load of docs+howto's.
