Hello,

The solution to compile PVM in a Linux box could include one,two 
or the next three steps:

	1.- In the directory pvm3/src edit the file startup.c. 
Find the definition of "RSHCOMMAND" and change it by 
"/usr/bin/rsh" if the rsh command is in this directory. If not, 
put the appropiate directory.

	2.- In the same directory (pvm3/src), edit the file 
host.c. Find "#ifdef SIOCGIFCONF" and change it by 
"#if defined(SIOCGIFCONF) && !defined(IMA_LINUX)"

	3.- In the directory pvm3/lib edit the file pvmgetarch 
and change all the string "/usr/bin/uname" by the string 
"/bin/uname".

Best Regards.
