i think the correct way to work around the library issue is to
edit pvm3/conf/BSD386.def variable ARCHLIB and change it from
-lrpc to -lrpcsvc (this is what they do for the freebsd .def
file). this didn't change anything and the pvm command still
spits out errors.

it's not required as an argument, and running "pvm" without
arguments should give the console prompt "pvm> ". here's what
happens in either case:
$ pwd
/home/X/pvm3/lib
$ pvm

i also confirmed that this behavior does affect the example
programs:

the source that's being problematic is isolated here:
$ grep -R -n -A 4 -B 4 "can't creat t-auth file" pvm3/*
pvm3/misc/group-hack-337-12- pvm_setopt(PvmDebugMask, -1);

pvm3/misc/group-hack-337-17- cc = PvmSysErr;

pvm3/misc/group-hack-337-19-+ }
pvm3/misc/group-hack-337-20-+ if ((gid = pvmgetugid()) != -1) {
i've also gotten essentially the same behavior when i compile
Jacob Meuser's "sort of" PVM port (see
http://www.jakemsr.com/openbsd/ports/port-tgzs/pvm-3.4.5-port.tgz
).
if nobody can assist me in this endeavor, perhaps they could
give me some advice about "porting" applications to openbsd. i
am not unwilling to work on the code, but i would appreciate
some advice before getting involved.
cheers,
jake
