Hi 
I am attempting to build PVM3.3.5 on a 4 proc ALPHAMP machine

Here are the details of the machine

-------------------------------------------------------
from uname -a
OSF1 "hostname" V3.0 347 alpha

/usr/sbin/sizer -p = 4

/usr/sbin/sizer -c
cpu             "DEC2100_A500"

-------------------------------------------------------

aimk recognizes the ARCH to be ALPHAMP and proceeds to build the
binaries etc. just fine

However when I try to start pvm I get the following error

-------------------------
pvm
libpvm [pid29001]: /var/tmp/pvmd.5456: No such file or directory
libpvm [pid29001]: Console: Can't start pvmd
-------------------------

The file /var/tmp/pvmd.5456 was not created but the file /var/tmp/pvml.5456
was created.

I tried to start pvmd directly
lib/pvmd says "Segmentation fault"
as does
lib/ALPHAMP/pvmd3 when invoked directly

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have confirmed from the file src/patchlevel.h that this version is indeed
3.3.5
Any suggestions/comments will be highly appreciated.

Thank you
