From: r.grenyer@ic.ac.uk (Rich Grenyer) Newsgroups: comp.parallel.pvm Subject: HELP! Date: 28 Jun 1999 13:18:27 GMT Organization: Imperial College Biology Department Message-Id: Xref: ukc comp.parallel.pvm:8516 Sorry to bother everyone with something so simple .... We've just started a pilot project getting PVM to run across some linux boxes. We've got two (gasp) working at the moment, with PVM daemons spawned neatly and happily on both. Running the actual exe that we hope to use brings up a number of errors, which we can go through in due course ourselves, BUT: Can we run PVM on just two machines? The console comes up as running 3 processes, and aborts with a PVMNoFile error - is it looking for a third machine? Sorry if this is a mind-blowingly dumb question, but we thought we might save a lot of time... Replies to here, or perhaps to r.grenyer@ic.ac.uk if it's not something to bother the group about...
