[itsdb] [incr tsdb()] and PVM problems

[Michael Wayne Goodman]

My google-fu skills must be a bit rusty, or there is just very little
information about troubleshooting pvm available online. Apologies if
I'm missing something obvious.

Note that I did not have pvm installed before I sent my initial email,
so the LOGON code should have been using the binaries at
logon/lingo/lkb//bin/linux.x86.64/. I have now installed pvm in Fedora
with "yum install pvm". Also note that there is no "pvmd3" command
available from this installed package, only "pvm".

Here is the output of some commands. Maybe you'll notice something I don't:

$ which pvm
/usr/bin/pvm
$ ls -A /tmp/ | grep pvm
$ pvm
libpvm [pid6800] /tmp/pvmd.500: No such file or directory
libpvm [pid6800]: Console: Can't start pvmd
$ ls -A /tmp/ | grep pvm
pvml.500
$ cat /tmp/pvml.500
[pvmd pid6806] 09/01 14:35:11 master_config() goodmami-tablet: can't
gethostbyname
[pvmd pid6806] 09/01 14:35:11 pvmbailout(0)

Running the LOGON-supplied version yields the same result:

$ ~/Development/logon/lingo/lkb/bin/linux.x86.64/pvmd3
[pvmd pid6810] 09/01 14:36:00 master_config() goodmami-tablet: can't
gethostbyname
[pvmd pid6810] 09/01 14:36:00 pvmbailout(0)

As far as I can tell, /etc/hosts is set up as normal:

$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
::1		localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Starting pvm with localhost explicitly seems to work:

$ pvm -nlocalhost
pvm>

Is there a reason why pvmd3 cannot find the host by name?

Thanks for any help
