I had installed PVM for LINUX, I used the same src code as for a
SUN but just made sure the Makefile was edited correctly. I have
since then removed it, because it was unnecessary to have as we
have many idle processors around the department. One of the tricks
though if you have a 586, is to find the piece of the script that
searches for recognition of the type of PC you have..it currently 
only recognizes a 386 and 486, so you just have to edit that little
bit of code for it to recognise a 586 too.

I have placed a copy of pvm3.3.4 all tarred and compressed on
in the ftp site 'axiom.maths.uq.oz.au' change to the directory
pub/gwl and then mget pvm3.3*
I cannot remember the original PVM ftp site...

Hope this helps.

Glen.
