I've got pvm to run at school, but on my home machine, whenver I try to 
start the console it goes a lot like this:

libpvm [pid1315]: mksocs() read addr file: wrong length read
pvmd already running.
libpvm [pid1315]: mksocs() read addr file: wrong length read
libpvm [pid1315]: mksocs() read addr file: wrong length read
libpvm [pid1315]: mksocs() read addr file: wrong length read
libpvm [pid1315]: pvm_mytid(): Can't contact local daemon

Then if I try to just start the daemon, I get:

[pvmd pid1332] master_config() galifray.org: can't gethostbyname
[pvmd pid1332] pvmbailout(0)

where 'galifray.org' is the name I've given my 'host.'

I'm running Redhat Linux and pvm version 3.3. Everything went so smoothly 
at school, that I'm really baffled here. The only difference is that at 
school they have Debian Linux. Shouldn't make any difference!

I've set PVM_ROOT and PVM_DPATH (obviously since it compiled) and checked 
the man pages and README's for clues, but, alas, I am clueless.
