:Has anyone else come across the issue of compiling PVM on an SGI R4400 machine
:running under IRIX 6.2?  It seems that the pvmgetarch script gets a little
:confused and thinks the architecture should be SGI64, rather than SGI5.
:Otherwise I can't get it to compile successfully.  Does anyone already have a
:solution to this problem.

     I've got a similar problem before, when I start running PVM on a DEC Alphastation 
2604A. The function "pvmgetarch" was telling that the arch. name was ALPHA. So it find 
the library in $PVM_ROOT/lib/ALPHA, while PVM console tell me that the arch. was 
ALPHAMP and searching the program in $PVM/bin/ALPHAMP. 

     I suggest you create two subdirectory SGI64 and SGI5 in both directory 
$PVM_ROOT/bin/ and $PVM_ROOT/lib/. One of the 2 subdirectorys (SGI64 or SGI5) contain 
the actual library or programs (say, SGI64), while the other one (SGI5) point to the 
former one (SGI64). 
     Hope this help.
