Hi,  
  
I'm trying to integrate PVM into SGE 5.3. But for some reasons, pvm is not  
started. Here is what I did:  
- replaced SGE_ROOT/pvm with the supplied from SGE howto website  
(http://gridengine.sunsource.net/howto/pvm-integration/pvm-integration.html)  
- Since NetBSD is not supported by PVM, I added the folloing line in to  
SGE_ROOT/pvm/src/aimk  
********  
case nbsd-i386:    
case glinux:    
case linux:    
set CC = gcc    
set CFLAGS = "-O -Wall -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes -DLINUX $DEBUG_FLAG  
$CFLAGS"    
set LFLAGS = "$DEBUG_FLAG $LFLAGS"  
...    
*******    
- Defined PE: 
********   
arbutus# qconf -mp pvm  
pe_name           pvm 
queue_list        all 
slots             32 
user_lists        NONE 
xuser_lists       NONE 
start_proc_args   /usr/pkg/sge/pvm/startpvm.sh $pe_hostfile 
$host /usr/pkg/pvm3 
stop_proc_args    /usr/pkg/sge/pvm/stoppvm.sh $pe_hostfile $host 
allocation_rule   1 
control_slaves    FALSE 
job_is_first_task TRUE 
 
then I got the errors when I run the hello program: 
*********

********/ 
 
Does anyone know why pvm doesn't start. I've checked with SGE people and they 
think the generated line "/var/tmp/tmp.0.00025581aa" shouldn't be there and 
maybe PVM is compiled in a special way on NetBSD... But they seem not know how 
to fix it. I highly appreciated if anyone could help me to fix that problem. 
Thank you very much,
