I'm setting up 8 machines to run FreeBSD and pvm (Parallel Virtual Machine, http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html). Apparently, the libraries changed somewhere between FreeBSD 3.4 and 4.3, and pvm will no longer compile. Now I understand that this really isn't your problem, but I have several questions: 1. Which version of 3.4 (RELEASE or STABLE) is actually what I "should" be using? 2. Will 3.4 be available in the future, via ftp or CD-ROM? Perhaps I should order a CD-ROM right now, "just in case", if it's still available. 3. Has anyone else reported a problem, and is there a BSD patch? (I shall also try to contact someone involved with pvm to see if there is an update.) The problem is something really arcane with a bitwise comparison; I can investigate further if you'd like. FreeBSD is probably my favorite OS; it is close enough to "standard" UNIX that I can generally find answers in books. In fact, most of our campus Web pages are running on a BSD box, cs.heritage.edu. Thanks. Richard "Doc" Barnhart Computer Science Heritage College 3240 Fort Road Toppenish, WA 98948 It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
