No, they both have their own /tmp, so that's not the problem.

But I discovered another funny thing:
If go tho my home-directory an set a symbolic link to
the PVM_ROOT-directory

ln -s $PVM_ROOT pvm3

then everything works !!?!???!  So some PVM-programs are searching
my home directory ... but why ?  No variables are set to my home !

this is all I have set:

PVM_ARCH=SUN4
PVM_EXPORT=DISPLAY
PVM_ROOT=/home/local/pvm3

Is there anything else I must set, so that I don't need this link ?

Thanks in advance, bye

Stephan.
