Need help!

I want to use the reduce operations availabe in pvm 3.3.2. So I first
tried the example given in gexamples provided with PVM. 
But not with much success.Starting the program with 2 processors 
got me the following:

gexamp 0x40002 enrolled
libpvm [t40002]: gs_getgstid() failed to start group server: No such file
gexamp 0x40002 -14

There are 4 Suns in my virtual machine, so there were enough processes 
available.

Running other programs with PVM without those operations causes no 
problems, so I think that my installation is ok.

Do I have to start special processes for the reduce operations, 
or is this a bug?

regards

Walter
