--- Begin Message ---Package: pvm Version: 3.4.5-7 Report-Headline: PVM group server cannot be started When I start some PVM application, consisting of a shell script which invokes a binary file, then I get the following error message. ========================================================================= seidl@smobi: ./Start-w-pvm cc=isoc89 pvm> conf 1 host, 1 data format HOST DTID ARCH SPEED DSIG smobi 40000 LINUX 1000 0x00408841 pvm> quit Console: exit handler called pvmd still running. /tmp/fmc/work/isoc89@smobi/bin/fmc libpvm [t40002]: gs_getgstid() failed to start group server: No such file fmc[112]: (i_pvminit): Error in PVM group server. ========================================================================= The appropriate environment looks as follows. ========================================================================= seidl@smobi: set | grep PVM PVM_ARCH=LINUX PVM_EXPORT=PATH:DISPLAY:PVM_ROOT PVM_ROOT=/usr/lib/pvm3 seidl@smobi: set | grep PATH= PATH=...:/usr/lib/pvm3/lib:... ========================================================================= `pvmgetarch' returns `LINUX'. After repairing an installation error, which should herewith be reported, the output looks as follows. ========================================================================= seidl@smobi: ./Start-w-pvm cc=isoc89 pvm> conf 1 host, 1 data format HOST DTID ARCH SPEED DSIG smobi 40000 LINUX 1000 0x00408841 pvm> quit Console: exit handler called pvmd still running. /tmp/fmc/work/isoc89@smobi/bin/fmc Number of running message-passing processes is 8 Role Iworker 1 rank 1 cluster 0 (smobi) Role Oworker 1 rank 0 cluster 0 (smobi) Role Sworker 1 rank 2 cluster 0 (smobi) Role Sworker 2 rank 3 cluster 0 (smobi) Role Sworker 3 rank 4 cluster 0 (smobi) Role Sworker 4 rank 5 cluster 0 (smobi) Role Sworker 5 rank 6 cluster 0 (smobi) Role Sworker 6 rank 7 cluster 0 (smobi) ========================================================================= The installation error itself can be fixed by the following shell commands. ========================================================================= # Deal with PVM. pvmarch="unknown" test -x /usr/bin/pvmgetarch && pvmarch=`/usr/bin/pvmgetarch` if [ -d /usr/lib/pvm3/bin ]; then if [ ! -d "/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}" ]; then # Error in Debian Etch, at least. # Allow to automatically start the PVM group server. mkdir "/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}" chown 0.0 "/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}" chmod 755 "/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}" fi fi if [ -d "/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}" -a -x /usr/bin/pvmgs ]; then if [ ! -L "/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}/pvmgs" ]; then # Error in Debian Potato/Woddy/Sarge/Etch, at least. # Allow to automatically start the PVM group server. (cd "/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}" && ln -s ../../../../bin/pvmgs) fi fi ========================================================================= It is seen that the problem is quite old. This time, it should perhaps be tackled. It seems that the problem is a Debian problem only, because, if I install PVM from the upstream sources, `/usr/lib/pvm3/bin/${pvmarch}' is, as far as I can remember, selected as the place where some binaries reside to keep inhomogeneity manageable. Perhaps, the above shell commands should simply be executed by the `postinst' script with the appropriate cleanup in `prerm'. If you are looking for a simple test case, extract the code from `http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~seidl/slides/pvm/simplepvmtest.pdf' by cut/past, and execute cat simplepvmtest.c | sed s,100000,100, > pvmtest.c cc -o pvmtest pvmtest.c -lgpvm3 -lpvm3 echo conf | pvm ./pvmtest > pvmtest-OUT echo halt | pvm It should work.
