    Hi. I have a problem with PVM setup and I need a solution ASAP.
I have installed PVM on our network of SUNs. Some of these SUNs are running
Solaris, and pvm can not start on those host. The reason is that the
machine architecture for Solaris, called SUN4SOL2, was not created under
lib directory when I unpack PVM3.3 and do the make. So of course PVM
can not get the right executable daemon to start. (On the other hand, the
directory SUN4 was created so non-Solaris machines can start PVM.)

   Now what is the solution to this? How can I get SUN4SOL2 directory
created? The installation is automatic and I have no control over
what ARCH directory it will produce...It is suppose to scan all the host
on the network and get appropriate ARCH, but it fails to do so....

   Thanks a lot.
