I am facing a similar problem while using the korn shell, but I am not sure this is the reason. The pvm3.3 manual says something like "It is important that the user not have any I/O in his .cshrc file because this will interrupt with the start up of PVM". Could this be the reason the problem is occuring. I do have I/O commands in my .kshrc which get executed only in interactive mode. Is it possible to debug this part of the starup of PVM?

A typical session looks as follows:

carcassi:/u/u53/edm/src/pvm(35) echo $PVM_ROOT 
/u/u53/edm/src/pvm/pvm3
carcassi:/u/u53/edm/src/pvm(37) cd pvm3/lib/SUN4
carcassi:/u/u53/edm/src/pvm/pvm3/lib/SUN4(38) pvm
pvm> add handel.cs.purdue.edu
0 successful
                    HOST     DTID
    handel.cs.purdue.edu Can't start pvmd
pvm>  halt
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock

The /tmp/pvml file is as follows:
[t80040000] ready  3.3.4   Fri Sep 16 15:30:49 1994
[t80000000] pvmd@handel.cs.purdue.edu: ksh: /lib/pvmd:  not found^J
[t80000000] pl_startup() pvmd@handel.cs.purdue.edu: EOF
[t80040000] startack() host handel.cs.purdue.edu expected version
[t80040000] dm_halt() from (carcassi.cs.purdue.edu), halting...
[t80040000] work() pvmd halting
[t80040000] pvmbailout(0)


It seems from this that the PVM_ROOT variable is not getting set on the remote host. But that is not the case since the command 

rsh remote host $PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd works fine.
