Seems to me that pvm don't its location for the binaries. "pvmd"
should be replaced by "pvmd3". Try to execute "pvm hostfile", where
"hostfile" contains the correct path to the binaries (see the manual
for the syntax). Or, as an alternative, you can change in
"$HOME/<whatever>/pvm3/src/globals.h" the macros "PVMDFILE" and
PVMDPATH", and recompile (I hacked most of the Makefiles and shell
scripts, too). Than pvm should find its binaries without
a hostfile (provided you have the binaries on all hosts in the same
place).

Hope that helps.

So long, Lothar
