I think, what you mention is the PVM group library libgpvm3.a which is
to be linked to Xab3 by the option -lgpvm3. Xab3 depends on the process
group mechanism of PVM3. You should find the libgpvm3.a file in the same
directory where the main PVM library libpvm3.a is located. If it's not
there, you have to build PVM's group features by calling "make g" on the
top of PVM's file hierarchy.

Let me mention, that IMHO Xab3 on it's own is not very useful. But it's
tracing output may be used by other visualizing tools like ParaGraph.
But for doing this, you may run into problems with tachyons (messages
received before being sent). -- No flames, please. This is my personal
opinion.
