heya, i'm trying to get PVM 3.4.5 to compile from source on a 3.6-release system and have run into some problems. when i first attempted this, i got the following error:
... cc -DIMA_BSD386 -I../../include -I../../tracer -I../../src -DSOCKADHASLEN -DNOREXEC -DRSHCOMMAND=\"/usr/bin/rsh\" -DHASSTDLIB -DNEEDMENDIAN -DHASERRORVA S -o pvm cons.o cmds.o job.o trc.o -L../../tracer/BSD386 -L../../lib/BSD386 -lpvmtrc -lpvm3 -lrpc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrpc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[1]: *** [pvm] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/X/pvm3/console/BSD386' gmake: *** [c] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /home/X/pvm3 (line 12 of Makefile). based on googling, i think this means that it can't find the library librpc. i made a soft link from /usr/lib/librpc.a to /usr/lib/librpcsvc.a in hopes that the requisite library was simply renamed. this did allow the compilation to complete without any errors. below are the last few lines i got from the compilation: ... cp pvmgroups ../../bin/BSD386 cp libgpvm3.a ../../lib/BSD386 case xt in xt ) echo ranlib; ranlib ../../lib/BSD386/libgpvm3.a ;; esac ranlib cp pvmgs ../../lib/BSD386 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/subtext/pvm3/pvmgs/BSD386' done building group server and library this made me think everything went smooth, but upon further inspection the pvm command doesn't give me a console prompt and spits out some errors. it also leaves the pvmd3 daemon running in the background. here is the text: $ pvm libpvm [pid27480] /tmp/tmp.0.jqSb27480: Invalid argument libpvm [pid27480]: pvmbeatask() can't creat t-auth file libpvm [pid27480] /tmp/tmp.1.yLmB27480: Invalid argument libpvm [pid27480]: pvmbeatask() can't creat t-auth file libpvm [pid27480]: Console: Can't contact local daemon $ ps aux|grep pvm X 21641 0.0 0.1 340 676 p8 S 4:32PM 0:00.01 /home/X/pvm3/lib/BSD386/pvmd3 X 2447 0.0 0.0 420 4 p8 R+ 4:32PM 0:00.00 grep pvm (ksh) this suggests that librpc and librpcsvc are indeed different. more googling yielded "All of these functions are accessible from either the RPC library, librpc, the RPC services library, librpcsvc, the socket library," from http://osr600doc.sco.com/en/manNS/Intro.NS.html . it is not clear to me whether the two libraries are synonymous or not. the same issue came up in a much older (from 99) post to misc, http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/9911/msg00130.html . i would appreciate help in clearing this up and getting the right libraries so i can compile PVM. thx for reading, jake
