Thanks, I managed to build pvm3 after applying your patches. scilab fails
building due to conflicting definitions in twodq.c derived from twodq.f. I
patched this up manually and got scilab to build. Not sure why it gets it
wrong in this file as everything else builds cleanly.
Maybe I should be looking to build scilab-4. Our version is getting a little
old...
