Notice the two different paths: ----- You have to set PVM_ROOT=/usr/local/lib/pvm enviropment variable on all machines which you are planning to use for distributed computing. The best way to set this variable on system-wide basis is to add "PVM_ROOT=/opt/lib/pvm" into appropriate section of your /etc/login.conf file. You also have to enable rshd on those machines. ----- -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
