[Symphony] SYMPHONY Installation with PVM

[Ted Ralphs]

Hi David,

First, what version of SYMPHONY are you using? Make sure you get 5.6.1.

The cause of the error you are seeing is simply that the file
$PVM_ROOT/include/pvm3.h is not found. Can you check to make sure that
specific file is there?

I have found that the files associated with pvm3 on some flavors of Linux
are not in the proper locations. Overall, it seems easier to just get the
source and build it myself. That was the only way I could get it to work on
Debian. Everything works fine for me with PVM 3.4.6.

Although the unit tests work with PVM now and everything seems to be fine,
I have not tested it extensively and have not tried to build any of the
applications. Feel free to keep sending questions if you have problems, as
I would like to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Cheers,

Ted
