Hi out there,

first I would like to thank everyone who helped me in getting Pvm
compiled under AIX. The solution was to change from ksh to csh.
As with other packages (like gcc), I assumed it would compile out of
the box without changing the shell (and BTW, it wasn't even mentioned
in the doc that I must use csh).
Another point I fought with: the home directory dependency. I think the
program should compile under ANY directoy and the bins (executables and libs)
should be installable in a standard place like /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/lib. The program should be able to run without the environment
variable PVM_ROOT and the standard search pathes and standard places should
be sufficient (I think it's possible at least under Unix). To get around
these problems, I read some long manuals and hacked most of the scripts.
And finaly, it works (uff!).

Greetings, Lothar
