How about on a multiprocessor SGI? I've compiled pvm under IRIX 6.2
on an Onyx 10000 (4 processors). A few warnings compiling, but it
seemed ok. When I try to compile something though I get:

cc  -o simulator *.o -lpvm3
ld: FATAL 12: Expecting /usr/lib/libpvm3.a objects: ld: Segmentation fault.  Removing output file...
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

I see that in pvmgetarch the variable SGIMP is used to
set whether you get multiprocessor (SGIMP64) or not (SGI64) architecture.
It isnt set on anywhere in the script though. If I manually turn it
on then pvm doesnt seem to compile properly, though I didnt try very hard.

David.
