Integration of PVM into SGE 5.3

[Co Thai Ngo <cngo%nmsu.edu@localhost>]

Hi,   
   
I'm trying to integrate PVM into SGE 5.3. But for some reasons, pvm is not   
started. Here is what I did:   
- replaced SGE_ROOT/pvm with the supplied from SGE howto website   
(http://gridengine.sunsource.net/howto/pvm-integration/pvm-integration.html)   
- Since NetBSD is not supported by PVM, I added the folloing line in to   
SGE_ROOT/pvm/src/aimk   
********   
case nbsd-i386:     
case glinux:     
case linux:     
set CC = gcc     
set CFLAGS = "-O -Wall -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes -DLINUX $DEBUG_FLAG   
$CFLAGS"     
set LFLAGS = "$DEBUG_FLAG $LFLAGS"   
...     
*******     
- Defined PE:  
********    
arbutus# qconf -mp pvm   
pe_name           pvm  
queue_list        all  
slots             32  
user_lists        NONE  
xuser_lists       NONE  
start_proc_args   /usr/pkg/sge/pvm/startpvm.sh $pe_hostfile  
$host /usr/pkg/pvm3  
stop_proc_args    /usr/pkg/sge/pvm/stoppvm.sh $pe_hostfile $host  
allocation_rule   1  
control_slaves    FALSE  
job_is_first_task TRUE  
  
then I got the errors when I run the hello program:  
*********

********/  
  
Does anyone know why pvm doesn't start. I've checked with SGE people and they  
think the generated line "/var/tmp/tmp.0.00025581aa" shouldn't be there and  
maybe PVM is compiled in a special way on NetBSD... But they seem not know how  
to fix it. I highly appreciated if anyone could help me to fix that problem.  
Thank you very much,
