[Symphony] PVM, issues with both Ubuntu version (runtime) and official source (compile time)

[Tim Goddard]

Also, just saw October mention of the same error. Tried symphony trunk, no 
more luck. Tried with:

./configure --with-pvm --with-pvm-incdir="/home/timg/Downloads/pvm3/include" --
with-pvm-lib='/home/timg/Downloads/pvm3/lib/LINUX64/libpvm3.a'

Got another error:

> checking if user provides library for Pvm... yes
> checking whether symbol pvm_gettid is available with PVM... no
> configure: error: Cannot find symbol(s) pvm_gettid with PVM
