[Symphony] Regarding Symphony +PVM problem

[Ted Ralphs]

This means PVM can't find the slave executable. By default, PVM only
looks for the slave executables in the $PVM ROOT/bin/$PVM ARCH
directory. They (or a link to them) must reside there in order for
parallel processes to be spawned correctly. Check the user's manual in
the section on building for parallel architectures (Section 2.2.2.4 of
the current manual) for details. An alternative (since your PVM_ROOT
is probably not writable) is to create a PVM hosts file and add
additional directories to the PVM search path. You can check the PVM
documentation for how to do that. Another alternative is to install
PVM in your home directory. This is the most foolproof method.

Cheers,

Ted
