I am trying out PVM 3.3.3 on an SP2.  Unfortunately to use some
of the new functions like pvmfscatter(), pvmfgather(), and pvmfreduce()
I need to enroll my program in a group.  I try doing it using the
line :

      call pvmfjoingroup('all',igroup_number)

and compile using the three libraries libfpvm.a, libgpvm.a, and libpvm.a .
No errors are reported to me.  When I run the program I get the 
following error :

libpvm [t40001]: gs_getgstid() failed to start group server: No such file

Does anyone have any idea what the error message means & how to correct
the problem?  Thanks for your help.
