>Description:
- pvmgetarch is not installed
- aimk is not installed
- configuration stubs (*.def,*.m4) for aimk are not installed
- debugger is not installed
- debugger2 is not installed
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile PVM programs. Wonder where aimk is.
>Fix:
I serously suggest to install PVM3 as the normal PVM3 directory
layout does it, so that only one variable (PVM_ROOT) has to be set to a
nontraditional value on NetBSD.
People might want to run mixed NetBSD/Non-NetBSD environments with PVM.
After all, thats what it was designed for.
