Has anyone installed PVM++ 0.2 on a machine with Sun OS 4.1.3 ?
So far the problem with the ulong versus u_long in the pdu.h and the extra
dash before the cr in the Makefile (i.e. ar -cr instead of ar cr) have been
hacked round so the libpvm++.a file now exists.  But in compiling the example
the getopt.h header is missing so I provided one unfortunately the linker
complains that _dlopen, _dlsym and _dlclose are missing even when an extra
-ldl is added to try and pacify it.  An example program using the provided
getopt.h header worked perfectly.  We are using GNU C++ version 2.6.0 as
recommended in the README file but are still a step away from running it.
(and pvm3.3.3 libraries carefully linked so that libpvm.a -> libpvm3.a etc.)

Any ideas ?
