Hi Frederik,

the developers of xab3 told me that they stopped working on xab3.
So it won't ever be compatible with pvm3.3 and higher versions.
xpvm is supposed to do the same job, but it keeps deleting the pvm sockets
after running a while.
However you could try to patch up the xab3 sources (deleting all the
pvm_serror stuff, etc.). Maybe that works.

Adios,
       Frank
